Goodbody Clinic

What each scan covers

In the provider’s words, with the body filled where those words name the area.

Full Body MRI Scan Gold

£1,499

What it scans: “brain and head, neck blood vessels, chest, abdomen (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys), pelvis and bladder, female reproductive organs, and spine”
What it does not: “It does not replace blood tests, bowel screening or mammography, and it cannot see everything; small or very early changes can be missed.”; “the lungs themselves are better seen on CT”
How long: “About 60 minutes in the scanner for the Gold scan”
Results: “Report and images emailed within 3 to 5 working days”

Filled where Goodbody Clinic’s words name the area. Not mentioned: arms, thighs and lower legs. The spine is named.

Full Body MRI Scan Platinum

£2,199

What it scans: “everything in the Gold scan (brain and head, neck blood vessels, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine) plus a cardiac MRI of the heart”
What it does not: “It does not directly show blockages inside the coronary arteries, which is a job for a CT coronary angiogram, and it is not a replacement for blood pressure and cholesterol checks.”; “does not image the lungs or bones in the detail that CT does. Small or very early changes can be missed, so a clear scan is reassuring rather than a guarantee.”
How long: “60 to 90 minutes in the scanner”
Results: “consultant radiologist report emailed within 3 to 5 working days”

Filled where Goodbody Clinic’s words name the area. Not mentioned: arms, thighs and lower legs. The spine is named.

What Goodbody Clinic says it does: “Where something needs further investigation, a Goodbody clinician calls you to explain what it is, how urgent it is, and how to take the report to your GP or a specialist for NHS or private follow-up.”
Who pays for onward care: Not stated
Do you need a referral: “No. You book directly with Goodbody and we arrange the clinical referral that imaging centres require, so there is nothing to ask your GP for.”
Who reads the scan: “Every scan is reported by a consultant radiologist.”
