A Preventicum Check-Up does not only aim to diagnose existing conditions, it also enables the doctors to evaluate key risk factors and develop a preventive strategy specifically tailored to your lifestyle.

Early diagnosis of key individual risk factors is crucial for improved prevention of serious illness. Preventicum combines the very latest medical technology with experienced doctors and '6-star' service to provide the most advanced full-body Check-Ups in Europe to individual and corporate clients.

After a detailed discussion with one of their doctors, a physical examination, comprehensive blood tests, ECG, stress test and ultrasound examinations will be carried out. The centre-piece of the Ultimate Check-Up is a unique Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, which takes thousands of images of the body without any known side-effects and no exposure to radiation.

This highly innovative technology provides detailed images of the heart, arteries, brain, abdomen and colon.

Their experienced doctors will interpret all your examination results during your Check-Up and any further tests or treatment will be arranged quickly and conveniently thanks to their links with an extensive network of specialists. Your results, including your MRI images will be discussed with yout in a full consultation at the end of your Check-Up.

• Advanced imaging of the brain can identify aneurysms, stenoseis and signs of previous stroke.

• An MRI colonoscopy can identify polyps in the colon, a known precursor of colon cancer.

• 3D MRI images of the heart detect signs of previous heart attack and help assess cardiac muscle and valve function.

• A quick and painless ECG can detect abnormalities in the heart.

• Measuring blood pressure and cholesterol helps us evaluate our risk of heart attack and stroke.
