Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) technique involves the use of a magnetic field harmless to the body.
The Full body scan and other scans, e.g. of specific areas of the body such as the spinal column or knee, are performed using MRI technology. Specialists use MRI images to assess structures deep within your body which cannot be displayed in any other way. An average MRI examination lasts 15 - 30 minutes. During this time, more than one thousand cross-sectional images of the internal structure of your body are taken.
During a MRI scanning, you will lie on a cushioned bed that slides into a tunnel. Some people find this type of MRI scanning to be a little confining. If you get nervous in narrow surroundings, we can also arrange for an examination in an open MRI device. There will be a quite loud hammering while the scanner is preparing for scanning and taking the pictures. During this hammering noise, it is important not to move, as this would blur the pictures. The hammering is harmless - it's just loud.
An MRI scan is not ideal for everyone. The magnetic field generated in the MRI scan is not suitable for people with pacemakers, for whom alternative examination methods are available.
Benefits of an MRI scan
MRI scans are an important tool that doctors use to investigate the cause of your symptoms. They can help confirm the presence or absence of a disease or injury. However, the diagnosis of a condition usually requires more than a single examination or test. An MRI scan should always be used to supplement — not replace — your doctor’s history-taking and examination.
MRI scans:
⦁ provide very detailed diagnostic pictures of most of the important organs and tissues in your body
⦁ are sometimes able to show unique information that other tests are unable to show
⦁ are generally painless
⦁ do not use radiation and are therefore suitable for use in children and pregnant women.
Safety studies have found no long-term negative effects from MRI scans.

Computer Tomography (CT)
CT (computer tomography) involves a special type of X-ray examination and is generally used to examine organs that are in constant motion, such as the lungs and the heart.
The complete examination takes about 5 - 10 minutes. During the examination, you lie on a cushioned bed that passes through the CT scanner (which has the form of a big ring).
CT Scanner
(no problem for claustrophobic patients)
Even for people with pronounced claustrophobia, this examination is almost always unproblematic.
The CT scanner uses X-rays to generate images. Your safety is ensured by guidelines limiting the amount of radiation recommended by scientific research.
If a CT scan is performed during the Full Body Scan, the low-dose procedure is employed.
This means that the amount of radiation is reduced to a minimum; in fact, the dose equals that of normal exposure naturally occurring during the course of one year.
Procedure
During CT imaging, an x-ray tube rotates around the patient so that multiple images are collected from many angles. These images are stored in a computer that analyzes them to create a new image with the overlying structures removed.
CT images allow radiologists and other physicians to identify internal structures and see their shape, size, density and texture. This detailed information can be used to determine if there is a medical problem as well as the extent and exact location of the problem, and other important details. The images can also show if no abnormality is present.
A CT scan that shows no abnormality still provides useful data. The information aids a diagnostician by focusing attention away from unnecessary medical concerns.
Modern CT scanners acquire this information in seconds – sometimes in fractions of a second – depending on the examination.
Benefits
Benefits of CT include more effective medical management by:
⦁ determining when surgeries are necessary
⦁ reducing the need for exploratory surgeries
⦁ improving cancer diagnosis and treatment
⦁ reducing the length of hospitalizations
⦁ guiding treatment of common conditions such as injury, cardiac disease and stroke
⦁ improving patient placement into appropriate areas of care, such as intensive care units
In an emergency room, patients can be scanned quickly so doctors can rapidly assess their condition. Emergency surgery might be necessary to stop internal bleeding. CT images show the surgeons exactly where to operate. Without this information, the success of surgery is greatly compromised. The risk of radiation exposure from CT is very small compared to the benefits of a well-planned surgery.
CT scanning provides medical information that is different from other imaging examinations, such as ultrasound, MRI, SPECT, PET or nuclear medicine. Each imaging technique has advantages and limitations. The principal advantages of CT are:
⦁ Rapid acquisition of images
⦁ A wealth of clear and specific information
⦁ A view of a large portion of the body
⦁ Breast Cancer Screening - Mammogram
