Our new Whole-body MRI Cancer Screening service is a comprehensive and reliable way to check your health and detect any signs of cancer before symptoms appear.
We’ve launched a new Whole-body MRI Cancer Screening Service at Paul Strickland Scanner Centre, offering people a way to check for signs of cancer before symptoms appear.
The service, which is currently only available privately, is overseen by our lead consultant for MRI Prof Anwar Padhani and is provided on a self-pay basis. Any income generated will help fund our charitable services.
The whole-body MRI scan, which takes around 45 minutes, uses advanced imaging technology to scan the entire body for abnormalities or growths that could indicate cancer. It covers all major organs and tissues, including the brain, liver, kidneys, and bones and is completely non-invasive and painless.
One of our experienced radiologists carefully reviews the results, and a full report is sent to the person’s GP. If anything unusual is found, the GP can arrange further tests or treatment if needed. This scan may appeal to people with a family history of cancer, those with genetic or environmental risk factors, or anyone who wants peace of mind about their health.
Detecting cancer early can make a big difference in treatment options and outcomes. Paul Strickland Scanner Centre is a specialist cancer imaging centre, and we have performed more whole -body MRI scans than any other centre in the world. Our work is recognised internationally, and we are committed to using the latest technology to improve cancer detection.
