Whole body MRI scan

X-ray the whole body

Many people use the term full-body X-ray when looking for a broad examination of the body. At Prevcare, the relevant examination is full-body MRI, where the body is examined with an MRI camera without ionizing radiation.

Correct concept

When you want to examine the whole body

In everyday language, whole body X-ray is often used as a collective term for examining the body with diagnostic imaging.

Medically, a full-body MRI is not a regular X-ray. It is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that can provide detailed images of organs and soft tissues.

X-ray, MRI and magnetic resonance imaging

Full body MRI when you want to examine the body broadly

A full-body MRI uses a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) camera to examine multiple organs and body parts. It is different from a regular X-ray and provides a different type of medical information.

Can you X-ray the whole body?

It is possible to examine large parts of the body with various diagnostic imaging methods, but the expression "whole body X-ray" is often misleading. Regular X-rays are mainly used for specific issues, such as skeletal injuries or certain lung examinations.

When people search for a full body MRI, they often mean a broad examination where multiple organs and body parts are examined. In that context, a full body MRI is a more accurate term.

At Prevcare you can book a full-body MRI privately without a referral.

Full body MRI or regular X-ray?

MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. Regular X-rays use ionizing radiation and are suitable for other types of questions.

When examining a wide range of organs and soft tissues, MRI is often more relevant than conventional X-rays. MRI can provide clearer information about many soft tissue structures, abdominal organs, and other internal changes.

Which method is right depends on what is being examined. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between regular X-rays, computed tomography and MRI.

What is included in a full-body MRI?

Full body MRI at Prevcare covers 21 organs and body parts. The examination includes radiological examination, written report and review with a specialist doctor.

What can the survey show?

MRI can show changes in organs, tissues, bones and soft tissues. These may include cysts, inflammation, lymph node changes, vascular changes or other findings that need further assessment.

Not all findings indicate serious illness. Some changes are benign, others need to be followed over time or investigated with a more targeted examination.
