Total Body Scan® Excellent

We will advise you by telephone and then optimize the timing of your examination program.

During the initial consultation with the doctor, he will review your medical history with you and may make adjustments to the screening program with you, e.g. additional individual laboratory parameters. You will then undergo all radiological procedures (MRI, CT, possibly ultrasound).

During the final consultation, the doctor will explain your results and answer your questions. The doctor will also advise you on whether there is anything you can do to improve your health. If further examinations are necessary, e.g. a check-up of laboratory values, the doctor will issue a laboratory referral for you or give you a prescription for possible medication.

In this case, the doctor will discuss with you what needs to be done. Particularly in the case of blood values or blood in the stool, the aim is to repeat the laboratory test after a few days. If repeat tests are necessary, you will receive your laboratory referral directly from the doctor and therefore do not need to contact your GP again. Of course, you can also make use of our service and we will coordinate further examinations for you.

As already mentioned, serious findings are the rare exception; in most cases, a check-up is recommended after some time. It is important for you that you are helped by the doctor and us.

The three different Total Body Scan® programs differ in their scope, especially with the Total Body Scan® Excellent, individual parameters can be adapted for the laboratory. Or if you do not need a lung CT due to your age, this part of the examination will be omitted in consultation with you. So you can see how important it is to discuss your medical history with your doctor.

MRI can detect changes such as tumors, stroke/brain infarction, bleeding and inflammation at an early stage. The cervical spine is examined for problems such as herniated discs, trauma, narrowing, wear and tear, cervical spine syndrome. The organs of the upper and lower abdomen, such as the gall bladder, kidneys, bladder, spleen, liver, pancreas
are also thoroughly examined.

A CT scan of the chest can be used to diagnose chronic lung disease (COPD), pneumonia, a lung tumor or a blocked blood vessel in the direction of the lungs (pulmonary embolism). If indicated, a heart CT scan (calcium scoring) is performed to examine any calcification of the coronary arteries. The examination is carried out using the low-dose method and is low in radiation.

The carotid and thyroid glands are scanned using ultrasound. The ultrasound waves reflected by the tissue make it possible to visualize the tissue structure and detect any changes.

Your blood values, urine and stool are extensively examined in the laboratory. Blood and urine will be handed in on the day of the test. Please come to the blood test on an empty stomach. The stool sample letter will be sent to your home in advance.

After the consultation, you will receive your images from the radiological examinations in digital form, as well as a final written report. We will send you these findings or you can download them via a link.
