At MRI Wellness, we screen for nearly 500 health conditions across 13 organ systems, as well as silent cancer killers for which no screening tests are currently available.
Ovary
Often diagnosed at a late stage of the disease at which point the 5-year survival rate is only 11%.
Liver
Early detection is difficult. Symptoms do not appear until later stages.
Kidney
Often diagnosed by chance when referred for another reason with either ultrasound or an abdominal scan.
Pancreas
One of the most difficult cancers to detect. Only 10-20% of pancreatic cancers are diagnosed at a stage where resection is possible. This malignancy often remains asymptomatic for an extended period. Currently, there is no early detection method available.
Our goal is to catch tumors at “stage 0-1,” as earlier cancer detection can often lead to increased survival and a more positive long-term patient outcome.
Let’s make late-stage cancer diagnosis a thing of the past. Finding cancer early improves your chances of living a longer life. Would you trade an hour of your time for the rest of your life?

FAQs
How do whole-body scans work?
Full-body scans typically utilize magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), or positron emission tomography (PET). At MRI Wellness, we use MRI technology to complete our full-body scans. MRIs provide detailed, 3D soft-tissue images of the patient without radiation exposure. These images are what we use to detect any potential health conditions.
Are whole-body scans effective?
Yes, they are! Full-body scans have grown in popularity as of late, but they are not a new concept. Full-body scans can help patients gain a better understanding of their overall health status, decide what actions to take for prevention or treatment, and/or experience peace of mind over what is going on inside their bodies. Our scans can help detect early signs of cancer, aneurysms, and more.
In fact, the Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Association recommends full-body scans to those diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) – a rare, inherited disorder that increases one’s risk of developing different types of cancer. Full-body scans help those with LFS or those with a high risk of the disorder detect early signs of cancer and save their lives in the long run.
Choosing to do a full-body scan is truly a personal choice, whether it is due to curiosity, your family’s medical history, early detection, your peace of mind, or any other reason. MRI Wellness is here to support you and your health journey.
Are full-body MRI scans safe?
Yes! Full-body MRIs are safe and healthy, as they do not expose you to radiation like other types of scans.
Full-body MRI scans are beneficial for those with a high risk of any medical condition or cancer, those with a family history of medical conditions, or those who are simply curious about what’s going on inside their body and seeking peace of mind. A full-body MRI is a great first step in taking a closer look at your overall health while getting assistance from a specialist.
