Get to know your body – through magnetic resonance
The relatively new procedure of magnetic resonance imaging helps when conventional methods cannot deliver reliable results.
Some changes in the body produce nonspecific complaints such as fatigue, dizziness, decrease in performance, frequent malaise or night sweats. When a physical examination and analyses of blood samples do not bring clarification, the doctors are often clueless regarding which body structure they should examine next with imaging procedures.
Other pathologic changes might cause no complaints for a long time and remain undetected until one day they lead to serious bodily loss.
In order to detect such changes, like malformations, hidden inflammation foci, organ enlargements, growths in the body or damage to blood vessels, we fall back on whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This examination has no radiation and the whole body can be accurately imaged.
The whole-body MRI as tumour screening
We lump two hundred different diseases under the term cancer. The types of cancer are differentiated according to their origin – the body cells. Ninety percent of all cancer types originate from epithelial cells. We call these malignant carcinomas. The remaining 10% are sarcomas that derive from bone, cartilage, muscle or connective tissue, or leukaemias or lymphomas. The latter originate from a distorted development of the immune system.
Use cancer prevention
The best self-defense against cancer is a healthy lifestyle - associated with regular preventive examinations. Most malignant tumours have excellent healing chances if they are detected early. For this we offer you a whole-body examination with MRI, so that we can aquire on overview of all organs and metabolic processes.
