Description
What is Whole Body MRI?
Full Body MRI is an effective health screening for early diagnosis of diseases, providing detailed images of organs and tissues in the body. During this process, every section of the body is examined using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. MRI devices are preferred because they do not contain radiation and are very successful in diagnosis. Full Body MRI offers the opportunity to detect tumors, cardiovascular diseases or other potential health problems early. It facilitates the treatment process by providing early diagnosis, especially in people with hereditary or high-risk health history.
How is a Whole Body MRI Performed?
For a full-body MRI, the patient makes an appointment in advance and removes metal objects during the scan. The patient is dressed in a special patient gown and lies still on the MRI table. The scan starts in the brain and progresses to the other parts of the body in order. The patient is asked to hold their breath for a short time to get a clear image of the chest and abdomen. The scan takes approximately 40-45 minutes.
Which Organs Does Whole Body MRI Scan?
In Whole Body MRI, vital organs such as the brain, neck, lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys, heart and vascular system are examined in detail. Reproductive organs such as the uterus and ovaries in women and the prostate and testicles in men are also included in this scan. It also scans the bone and muscle system, allowing early detection of tumors or diseases that may occur in the body.
What is a Full Body MRI Check-Up?
Full Body MRI Check-Up is a comprehensive screening performed to determine disease risks in healthy individuals in advance. Health problems that may occur in a person are detected early, especially by taking into account family or environmental factors. When this check-up is performed regularly, it enables early diagnosis of diseases and timely intervention when necessary.
Whole Body Scanning Radiological Examinations
Radiological examinations performed within the scope of the whole body screening program are methods used to determine potential health risks by evaluating the general health status of the body. Here are these examinations:
- Whole Body MRI: It is performed to examine the entire body in detail, including the brain, spine, internal organs, muscle and bone structures, and to determine tumor risks.
- Whole Abdominal Ultrasonography (USG): Used to evaluate intra-abdominal organs such as the liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, gallbladder and to detect abnormalities.
- Thyroid Ultrasonography (USG): It is performed to visualize growths, cysts or nodules in the thyroid gland and to evaluate their functions.
- Chest X-ray: Used to evaluate the general condition of the lungs and rib cage, especially to detect tumors, infections or other abnormalities.
- Body Composition Determination: Examinations that measure the proportion of fat, muscle and water in the body play an important role in evaluating a person’s general health status and metabolic risk factors.
- ECG (Electrocardiography): Evaluates heart health by examining heart rhythm and electrical activity, providing early diagnosis of possible heart diseases.
