Benefits of a Full Body MRI

What's included

Diseases that can be detected

Space-occupying lesions in organs

Such findings can include benign cysts, but also changes that potentially require treatment and always require differentiated categorisation.

Selected tumours

Larger or structurally clearly definable tumours in particular can become visible, whereby sensitivity and specificity vary depending on the organ region.

Vascular changes such as aneurysms

Dilatations of larger vessels that can potentially cause problems can be visualised - depending on size and localisation.

Structural changes in the brain and nervous system

These include, for example, larger space-occupying lesions (tumours), neurological diseases, pronounced vascular changes, or other relevant structural abnormalities.

Degenerative or inflammatory changes

Changes to the joints, muscles or spine such as disc herniations, can become visible, even if they are not necessarily accompanied by symptoms. Preventive measures against further progression could thus be implemented in a targeted manner.

How CARE works

Step 1

Book Full Body MRI in seconds

Partner labs in central locations, quick and easy to reach across Switzerland.

Step 2

Visit partner radiology institute

A specialist will guide you through the procedure, check for possible limitations such as implants, and ensure that all your questions are answered in advance.

Step 3

MRI procedure

MRI scans are painless and non-invasive. During the examination, you lie still and listen to music. You remain connected to the specialists at all times.

Step 4

Analysis of your results

A radiologist analyses your MRI in detail and creates a patient-friendly report based on the images and your health information.

Step 5

Results via email & video consultation

Your examination will then be discussed with the specialist in a separate consultation. There will be room for questions and clearly defined next steps.

Included in the Full Body MRI

A whole-body MRI is an excellent way to detect many diseases in their early stages.

Components

Brain
The MRI of the brain enables a detailed assessment of the brain structure. This can reveal, among other things, space requirements, relevant vascular changes or other structural abnormalities. In certain cases, changes that may be consistent with inflammatory neurological diseases can also be seen, although these must always be categorised in the clinical context.
Thyroid gland and neck organs
The size, shape and structural abnormalities of the neck and thyroid gland are assessed. For example, thyroid nodules, cysts or enlarged lymph nodes may become visible. Other neck structures such as soft tissue and larger vessels are also assessed. As thyroid nodules in particular are common and predominantly benign, a differentiated medical categorisation is crucial. The assessment is always carried out in conjunction with the clinical situation and - if available - laboratory values.
Thorax
In the thorax (chest), the lungs, mediastinum, heart region and larger vessels around the aorta are visualised. The MRI can visualise structural abnormalities such as masses or changes in large vessels. However, certain findings in the lungs can sometimes be better assessed using other procedures, which is why results are always interpreted in a differentiated manner.
Abdomen
The abdomen includes important organs such as the liver, bile ducts, intestine, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and adrenal glands. This may reveal masses, cysts or other structural organ changes. Many findings are incidental and benign, which is why the focus is on clinical relevance and well-founded categorisation.
Spine & musculoskeletal system
The spine and selected structures of the musculoskeletal system are assessed for degenerative and inflammatory changes. For example, disc wear, protrusions, signs of osteoarthritis or irritation of joints and tendon attachments may become visible. As such changes often occur without symptoms, medical interpretation is particularly important.
Genital organs
In the pelvic region, depending on anatomical sex, the prostate and seminal vesicles or the uterus and ovaries, as well as the urinary bladder, are visualised. Structural abnormalities such as space-occupying lesions, cysts, or other organ changes may become visible.
