Total Body Scan® Standard

The Total Body Scan® Standard is a comprehensive screening program consisting of MRI, CT and ultrasound radiological examinations.

The following organs are examined:

• Skull/Brain
• Cervical spine
• Vessels supplying the brain
• Thyroid gland
• Heart
• Lung
• Gallbladder
• Kidney
• Bubble
• Spleen
• Liver
• Pancreas
• Aorta

This check-up was designed to identify the first signs of tumor diseases, heart attacks and strokes and to detect further changes (inflammations, cysts, etc.) in the vessels and organs.

The aim is to diagnose diseases at an early stage in order to gain valuable time for therapy selection. However, these are rare cases.

Most of the results from the Total Body Scan concern “minor issues” that can be quickly and safely managed through medication or lifestyle adjustments.

Or – in the best case scenario – the patient receives confirmation of their own health and thus also security for themselves and their environment.

The Total Body ^Scan® Standard examination program takes approx. 90-120 minutes on day I and another 30 minutes on day II.

The findings are prepared by independent specialists. The consultation takes place 2-3 days later. After the consultation, you will receive your images from the radiological examinations in digital form, as well as a final written report.

*At some locations, it is possible to conduct the diagnostic interview in the afternoon of the day of the examination.

After the telephone consultation, all your examinations are coordinated in a time-optimized manner.

During the initial consultation, the doctor reviews the patient’s medical history with them and makes any necessary adjustments to the prevention program.

The patient then undergoes all radiological procedures (MRI, CT, possibly ultrasound).

The findings are prepared by independent specialists, so that the final consultation takes place 2-3 days later. The attending physician will discuss your findings with you 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, the doctor will also refer you to a GP or specialist or write prescriptions for possible medication.

In this case, the doctor will discuss with you what needs to be done. If further examinations are necessary, you will receive all the necessary referrals. 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 Total Body Scan® programs differ in their scope. Depending on your state of health, possible health risks or existing findings, the packages can be individually adapted or supplemented with additional examinations such as heart and laboratory tests or other partial examinations can be omitted.

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.

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.
