What is a Whole Body MRI Scan?

A Whole Body MRI scan is a safe, radiation-free imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the entire body — from head to toe.

It is especially used for preventive health check-ups, cancer screening, and detecting early signs of disease before symptoms appear.

At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert radiologists use high-resolution MRI scanners to provide comprehensive health assessments in a single session.

All Whole Body MRI scans are done only by prior appointment to ensure patient comfort, safety, and dedicated attention.

Why is a Whole Body MRI Scan Done?

Doctors may recommend this scan to:

• Detect early cancers or tumors anywhere in the body
• Screen for silent organ diseases (brain, spine, liver, pancreas, kidneys, etc.)
• Identify muscle, bone, or joint abnormalities
• Monitor known medical conditions across multiple organs
• Provide a baseline health evaluation during preventive check-ups

How the Test is Done

• You will lie on a sliding table that moves through the MRI scanner
• The machine scans your entire body in sections using magnetic fields and radio waves
• The scan is painless but makes loud knocking sounds (earplugs or headphones are provided)
• It usually takes about 60–90 minutes
• After the scan, you can resume your normal routine immediately
