What is Whole Body Imaging?

​Whole Body Imaging is for anyone with a goal of preventative health in mind, those seeking information so they can move toward bettering and maintaining optimal health and wellness.

Limitations

Items to Note:  

While Whole Body Screening can provide a great deal of information, there are some things you should know before you book your appointment.  

  • ​If you have had prior imaging requiring follow up, or are currently being investigated for a diagnosed condition such as cancer, Whole Body Screening is not the correct test for you.  It will not replace a dedicated CT, MRI, PET scan, ultrasound, or bloodwork. ​

​

  • Whole Body MRI reports try to be as comprehensive as possible, however given the extensive anatomic coverage, number of sequences and images, not every finding may be documented or commented upon, particularly if it is deemed of no clinical significance by the radiologist. The main goal of the report is to document and advise on clinically relevant or actionable findings.

​

  • As with all imaging tests, there are inherent limitations to Whole Body Screening that prevent detection or identification of all cancers and diseases.

​​

  • Whole Body Screening provides a great snapshot of your current health in the moment and what is accurate for you right now.  It cannot guarantee any future outcomes regarding your well being.
