What our check-ups can reveal
Up to 140 blood biomarkers and advanced imaging to give you a complete view of your health.
141 biomarkers
Haematology - Complete Blood Count
9 biomarkersMarkers that describe the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets: how many there are, how large they are and how much haemoglobin they carry.
Haematology - Differential Blood Count
10 biomarkersMarkers that break the white blood cells down into their types (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils), each shown as a share and as an absolute count.
Lipids & Lipoproteins
12 biomarkersMarkers related to cholesterol, triglycerides and the lipoproteins that carry fats through the blood, including ApoB and Lipoprotein(a).
Inflammation & Immunology
3 biomarkersMarkers that reflect inflammatory activity and immune function in the body, such as hs-CRP, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and immunoglobulin G.
Metabolic - Glucose
6 biomarkersMarkers related to blood sugar regulation: fasting glucose, long-term glucose (HbA1c), insulin and values calculated from them.
Liver
8 biomarkersMarkers that reflect liver cell activity, bile flow and the liver’s protein production, including ALT, AST, GGT and bilirubin.
Protein
2 biomarkersMarkers for the main proteins in blood plasma, albumin and total protein, which relate to fluid balance and to the transport of substances in the blood.
Kidney
6 biomarkersMarkers that reflect how the kidneys filter the blood and clear waste products, including creatinine, urea, cystatin C and the eGFR calculated from them.
Pancreas
2 biomarkersDigestive enzymes made by the pancreas, amylase and lipase, which give insight into pancreatic activity.
Muscle & Tissue Enzymes
2 biomarkersEnzymes found in muscle and other tissues, such as LDH and creatine kinase, that enter the blood when cells are under strain or break down.
Electrolytes
7 biomarkersSalts dissolved in the blood serum, such as sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate and magnesium, that take part in fluid balance and in nerve and muscle function.
Thyroid
6 biomarkersMarkers related to thyroid function: the thyroid hormones TSH, free T3 and free T4, plus thyroid antibodies.
Iron Metabolism
4 biomarkersMarkers related to how the body stores, transports and uses iron: iron, ferritin, transferrin and transferrin saturation.
Vitamins & Methylation
8 biomarkersVitamins and related markers involved in energy metabolism, blood formation and methylation, such as vitamin D, B vitamins, folate, homocysteine and coenzyme Q10.
Minerals & Trace Elements
15 biomarkersMinerals and trace elements measured in whole blood, from essential ones such as zinc, selenium and copper to metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury.
Fatty Acids
17 biomarkersThe fatty acid composition of red blood cell membranes, including the Omega-3 index, individual omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and their ratio.
Endocrine - Sexual Hormones
10 biomarkersSex hormones and related markers, such as testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH and SHBG, that take part in reproductive and metabolic regulation.
Endocrine - Hormones
6 biomarkersOther hormones that take part in the stress response, calcium balance, growth and appetite, such as cortisol, PTH, IGF-1, leptin and adiponectin, plus AMH.
Tumour Markers
3 biomarkersMarkers that are looked at together with other findings, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in its total and free forms.
Genetics
2 biomarkersGenetic variants such as MTHFR and ApoE, which relate to how the body handles folate and transports lipids.
Cardiovascular
3 biomarkersMarkers related to the heart and blood vessels, such as NT-proBNP, Lp-PLA2 and oxidised LDL.
What full-body MRI covers. And what it doesn’t.
Bowel
A colonoscopy can examine the bowel lining and remove polyps, which MRI cannot do.
Lungs
Low-dose CT can reveal subtle lung changes that may not be visible on MRI.
Detailed joint imaging
Specialised MRI provides more detailed images of individual joints than a full-body scan.
Frequently Asked
A whole-body MRI ("magnetic resonance imaging") scan is an imaging procedure that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create high-quality images of the entire body in a single examination. This includes body parts such as head and brain, neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis, spine, joints, blood vessels, and soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and ligaments).
A whole-body scan can help detect a variety of diseases and abnormalities and derive appropriate treatment recommendations. These include tumor diseases and metastases, inflammations, infections, injuries, vascular changes, aneurysms and neurological diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's and dementia, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis). More information can be found in our blog article "MRI 101".
A recent study found that MRI screening in adults who did not have any disease symptoms led to clinically relevant findings in about one-third of patients. Of these findings, 2.6% were confirmed by pathology as invasive cancers. Whole-body MRI is a valuable tool for early cancer detection in individuals with hereditary cancer syndromes, significantly improving their chances of long-term health and survival.
Before an MRI examination, you should inform the radiology staff about implants (breast implants, metal implants), pacemakers, medications, allergies, or pregnancy. You should also remove all metal objects and jewelry. If you have claustrophobia, be sure to let them know beforehand.
MRI, X-ray and CT are based on different technologies and are therefore suitable for different medical applications. X-rays are used to produce two-dimensional images that are particularly good at showing bone structure. Computed tomography (CT) combines X-rays with a rotating camera to produce detailed cross-sectional images, which uses more radiation but provides a more precise view of complex tissues. In contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce high-resolution images of soft tissue without radiation exposure, but with longer examination times.
A whole-body MRI as a preventive examination enables the early detection of diseases, which can lead to more effective and less invasive treatments. It offers comprehensive screening and can reveal life-changing, and thus life-saving results. It is a long-term investment in your health that saves you many other examinations.
