Explore the markers listed below with your practitioner, who can help decide whether this test addresses your health question and interpret the findings alongside your symptoms and history.
What it measures

About this test
Whole Body MRI provides structural images from head to thigh in a single imaging appointment. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves, without ionising radiation.
What the test covers
The scan covers the head, neck, spine, chest, abdomen and pelvis, from head to thigh. It is not a scan of every body part and does not include the lower legs and feet. The report describes structural findings in the scanned regions.
What is included
- Pre-scan consent and preparation appointment by phone.

- Your scan findings report.
- A post-scan results consultation by phone or video to explain the findings and next steps.
From order to appointment

- Attend your pre-scan consent and preparation call.
- Use the booking details supplied to arrange your MRI appointment.
- Attend the scan, then discuss your report at the included results consultation.
At your appointment
Allow approximately 60–90 minutes for the scan. You will lie still inside the scanner and hear loud tapping sounds; the imaging team provides hearing protection and preparation instructions.
MRI safety and suitability
Tell the booking team if you are pregnant, have claustrophobia, a pacemaker, cochlear implant, neurostimulator, other implanted device, metal fragments or previous surgery involving metal. Do not book until the imaging team has completed the safety assessment. Some implants are MRI-compatible under specific conditions; the imaging team decides suitability.
The package size limits are height below 190.5 cm and weight up to 115 kg. If you exceed either, contact the booking team before ordering to arrange a suitable appointment and establish whether a different fee applies.
What you receive
As soon as we receive your results, we will forward a copy to you and ensure they are also available for your doctor.
You receive your scan findings report and the included results consultation. Both the pre-scan preparation call and post-scan results appointment are part of this package, rather than optional $49 add-ons.
Important limitations
MRI does not detect every condition and a normal scan does not rule out disease. It does not replace routine screening or a targeted investigation of symptoms. Some findings may be incidental or uncertain and may need further tests. If you have symptoms, seek medical assessment rather than waiting for a screening scan.
Price and inclusions
The displayed package price includes the scan, report, pre-scan consent appointment and post-scan results consultation. Further tests or treatment recommended after the scan are separate services.

From your order to your results.
Order and referral review, sample collection, laboratory analysis and discussing your report are separate stages. Your test’s processing estimate covers the laboratory stage.
ARRANGE
Arrange your scan
Arrange a suitable location and appointment with the nominated imaging provider. Availability is separate from the time needed to prepare the report.
COMPLETE
Attend your appointment

Practical questions about choosing, preparing for and reviewing this test.
Do I need a consultation or referral?
You can order without booking a paid consultation. A results consultation is optional and costs $49 once per order. Whole Body MRI includes its pre-scan and results appointments in the package price. Where the laboratory requires a practitioner request form, this is arranged as part of the ordering process.
Should I change medicines or supplements before testing?
Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own. Tell your practitioner what you take and follow the preparation instructions for this test. Timing, fasting and other requirements depend on the sample and markers being measured.
Does the test tell me what treatment I need?
A result is one part of an assessment. A qualified practitioner should interpret it alongside your symptoms, history and medicines. Check whether a results consultation is included in your purchase or needs to be booked separately.
