Full-body MRI

A full-body MRI scan is a comprehensive examination that provides detailed images of the entire body. The aim is to detect diseases and conditions in the body at an early stage. This allows for early treatment and thus better chances of recovery.

At Progardia, we offer full-body MRI scanning in a 3 tesla MR scanner. This means that you get the absolute best scan the market offers - and performed by the best specialists in Denmark.

Full-body MRI scan is a screening which is particularly good at seeing changes in the brain, spinal cord, sinuses, ears, neck, blood vessels, bones, muscles, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, spleen, pancreas, bladder and the whole back - from the neck to the tailbone. In women, the uterus, ovaries and vagina are also screened - just as it is also possible to see any leakage of breast implants.

In case of positive findings on the full-body MRI scan, it may in some instances be necessary to supplement with further examinations, such as a prostate scan.
