Summary: The term "full body scan" can refer to different types of assessments, so it's important to clarify what someone means when they ask about it.
At Everlab, there are two key offerings that involve full-body scanning:
- DEXA Scan - Included in both the Diagnostic and Protocol programs, this scan provides a comprehensive analysis of body composition and bone density.
- Full Body Cancer Screening - This is an add-on test that includes a full body MRI and CT scan. It is available to individuals who are already enrolled in either the Diagnostic or Protocol programs but is an add on cost and also as a standalone option.
DEXA Scan
What is a DEXA body composition scan?
DEXA is a medical imaging technique used primarily for measuring bone mineral density. The scan uses two X-ray beams with different energy levels to measure bone density, making it a reliable tool for assessing bone health.
What does a DEXA scan check for?
A DEXA scan primarily checks for bone mineral density (BMD), typically at the hip, forearm and spine, where fractures are most likely to occur due to osteoporosis. DEXA scans can also be used to evaluate body composition, providing information on the distribution of fat, muscle and bone in the body.
How much does a DEXA scan cost?
The Everlab DEXA scan is one of many diagnostics available in the Diagnostic and Protocol health programs. This scan can also be purchased as a one-off assessment for $279 for members and $299 for non-members.
Whole Body MRI Scan
What is a full body MRI?
A Full Body MRI is a non-invasive scan that screens for early signs of cancer, aneurysms, organ abnormalities, cardiovascular disease, and neurological conditions. It provides a comprehensive view of your brain, spine, major organs, soft tissues, and blood vessels to help detect health risks before symptoms appear.
How much does a full body MRI scan cost?
Everlab offers a whole body cancer screening assessment that includes a full body MRI and chest CT for $2,999 for members and $3,499 for non-members.
