What our customers say
Excellent experience with Aeon
"The practice's location was incredibly convenient, easily accessible by train, which meant I didn't have to worry about driving. Before the scan, the staff offered me a nasal spray to help with my claustrophobia, which made a huge difference in keeping me relaxed during the procedure. I was also impressed with how quickly and easily I received my results via the app. I highly recommend Aeon to anyone considering a preventive scan!"
Luisa R.
My full body MRI scan at Aeon was a great experience
„My experience at Aeon in Zurich was seamless and reassuring from start to finish. Booking was easy, and the medical staff provided a warm welcome. I was able to give a blood sample without any wait time and proceeded directly to the MRI scan. The scan itself was surprisingly pleasant. I appreciated being able to listen to my favorite music, which helped me relax, and I found the MRI machine to be neither too loud nor too confining. Receiving my results quickly and easily through the Aeon app was a huge relief. The explanations provided in the app were clear and easy to understand, which put my mind at ease."

They addressed all my concerns with patience and professionalism, creating a welcoming and reassuring atmosphere. Thank you so much for such a positive experience!"

Still Have Questions?
An MRI scan, also known as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, is a radiological procedure that produces detailed images of organs and tissues in the body. The process of having an MRI scan usually involves the following steps
- Schedule an appointment: You can easily book your MRI online, without a long wait, at a time that suits you.
- Preparation: Before the scan, you will be given important information on how best to prepare yourself. You will usually need to remove all metal objects as they can interfere with the magnetic field. Metal objects in the body, such as pacemakers or implants, must be disclosed before the scan as they may make the scan impossible or even dangerous. You should also refrain from wearing jewellery, watches, hair clips and other accessories, and choose clothing without metal parts (zips, metal buttons, etc.).
- How the scan works: You will be greeted at the Boutique practice by our medical professionals, who will escort you to the MRI room. During the scan, you will lie on a couch that is pushed into an opening in the MRI machine. You should lie as still as possible during the scan as movement can affect the quality of the images. The scan itself is painless, but the noise from the machine can be uncomfortable for some people. You can use earplugs or listen to music during the scan.
- Review of the images by a radiologist: After the scan, the images will be read by an experienced radiologist. You will receive your results within 72 hours via the app.
- Discussion of results: As soon as the evaluation is complete, you will discuss the results with our medical staff, who will explain the findings and recommend further steps if necessary.
The length of an MRI appointment depends on the area of the body being scanned and the type of scan being performed. A whole-body scan, such as the one we offer, takes 50 minutes. This is in addition to the time needed for preparation and, if necessary, a blood sample.
Insurance companies generally only cover check-ups under supplementary insurance policies. We have a partnership with KPT where the costs of the Aeon check-up can be reimbursed through supplementary outpatient insurance. However, it is advisable to check directly with your insurance company to see if they will cover the cost of the Aeon check-up.
An MRI scan can show the soft tissues, organs, bones, blood vessels and nerves in the body. It can be used to diagnose a range of conditions and injuries. These include:
- Cancer
- Brain disorders
- Alzheimer's disease and dementia
- Aneurysms
- Spine and discs

MRI uses magnetic fields to produce detailed images of soft tissues, allowing even the smallest injuries or changes in the musculoskeletal system to be seen. Computed tomography (CT) and radiography use X-rays. They are useful for imaging bones and the lungs, for example. PET/CT combines metabolic activity (PET) with anatomical details (CT) and is therefore ideal for diagnosing and staging cancer. Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce real-time images of organs and is often used for abdominal examinations and during pregnancy.
Aeon offers a number of compelling benefits that will make your MRI scan a pleasant and efficient experience:
- Detect hidden risks: At Aeon, our state-of-the-art technologies allow us to detect potential health risks before symptoms occur - critical for early treatment.
- One visit only: A single visit to our centre is sufficient for the entire examination. This saves time and gives you a quick and easy health check.
- Results in 72 hours via app: Your MRI results are available in as little as 72 hours and are delivered securely and conveniently via our app, so you can quickly gain clarity about your health.
- No radiation or contrast: Our MRI scans are performed without the use of harmful radiation or contrast agents, making them gentle and safe - ideal for people with allergies or intolerances.
- AI-based screening with medical expertise: Your images are not only assessed by experienced radiologists, but also supported by AI-based analysis. This increases the accuracy of the results and enables early detection of potential risks.
- Over 10 years of experience in Switzerland: Our radiologists at aeon have many years of experience in medical imaging and an excellent reputation in Switzerland.
