Our total body screening assessment covers the following areas for detailed examination:

Skull and brain (MRI Scan)
The possible risks of cerebral infarct/ brain haemorrhage
Benign and malignant tumours
Infections
Obstructions or changes in the forms of the major blood vessels

Heart assessment with an exercise treadmill ECG (electrocardiogram) - looking for signs of ischaemic heart disease (angina)

Examination of the lungs with a 'peak flow examination' and spirometry, including:
FEV1
FVC
FEV1/FVC ratio
PEFR

Upper abdomen (MRI Scan)
Description of the organs of the upper abdomen
Tracing / exclusion of tumours in the liver, pancreas, kidneys and the gall bladder
Check up for gall stones
Check up of the spleen
Tracing of cysts
Checking and recognition of enlargements of the lymph glands
Condition of the aorta
Mid section of the spinal column

Male/female pelvis (lower abdomen) (MRI Scan)
Description of the organs of the lower abdomen such as the bladder, prostate,the uterus and the ovaries (gynaecological system)
The tracing of tumours , external changes and a prolapsed bladder
Tracing of cysts; recognition of enlargement of the lymph glands
Condition of the aorta
Control of the lower spinal column, the pelvis and hip joints

Complete laboratory tests (blood and urine), including:

Total cholesterol
HDL lipids Thyroid function tests
LDL lipids Serum iron
Triglyceride lipids Serum calcium
Fasting glucose Serum phosphate
Complete blood count PSA (prostate test)
Haematology including ESR
Biochemistry
Liver function tests
Kidney function tests

We all know that prevention is better than cure.

Our total body screening assessment uses state of the art MRI imaging which is non-radiating (as opposed to CT scanning).

It offers a 3-part MRI scan of the body to include the brain, abdomen and pelvis, and is complemented by an exercise treadmill ECG test (for angina) and lung function assessment and comprehensive laboratory testing of blood and urine.

The assessment is done locally in Nottingham, at our private MRI unit, and the results are typically available within 2-3 days, having been reported by the various Consultant radiologists specialising in each area assessed.
