Whole-Body MRI · Reno, Nevada
One scan. A head-to-pelvis picture of your health.
A whole-body MRI surveys your brain, spine, and major organs in a single radiation-free visit — read by a board-certified radiologist and quantified by AI across 133 regions of your brain.
The scan, by the numbers
A remarkable amount of clarity from one appointment.
Head-to-pelvis coverage
Thirteen regions. One quiet hour.
From the crown of your head to your pelvis, a whole-body MRI surveys the organs and structures where serious conditions most often begin — silently.

The machine
A wider bore. Sharper images. Fewer reasons to come back.
Our 1.5T Echelon Synergy pairs a 70 cm wide-bore opening with faster imaging, high-resolution detail and noise-reduction — a calmer experience for anyone who worries about small spaces, and image clarity that helps avoid repeat scans.
133-region brain quantification
Ten reports from a single scan.
Every Whole Body and Neuro-Spine screening sends your brain imaging through Combinostics — an AI platform that measures the density of 133 brain regions and compares them to a large database of age-matched cases.
It’s the difference between “your scan came back normal” and a quantitative picture of how your brain is actually changing over time. Your radiology report is typically available within 48–72 hours.

Honest expectations
What this scan can — and cannot — settle.
We'd rather you book with clear eyes. A screening MRI is a powerful early-warning tool, and it works best when you know exactly what it does.
01
What it does well
MRI creates detailed soft-tissue images without ionizing radiation. Whole-body screening offers a broad look, but every image finding still needs clinical context and may require focused follow-up.
02
What a finding starts
A finding is a starting point, not a diagnosis. Some findings call for focused follow-up imaging, lab work, or a conversation with your physician — and some turn out to be harmless. Either way, you know, and knowing is the point.
03
What it never replaces
Screening MRI complements — never replaces — emergency care, your physician’s guidance, and the age- and risk-appropriate screenings you are already due for. No single test is 100% comprehensive, and we will always tell you so.
Before your scan
Safety screening is part of every appointment.
MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency energy, so a short safety conversation always comes first. Tell our team everything — it's how we keep the scan smooth and safe.
01
Implants, devices, and metal
Tell us about every implant, medical device, prior surgery, or injury involving metal before your appointment. Our team confirms whether and how your scan proceeds — most patients scan without any issue at all.
02
Noise and warmth
MRI systems are loud, and radiofrequency energy can produce mild warmth. We provide hearing protection, and our low-noise Echelon Synergy keeps the experience calmer than the MRIs most people remember.
03
Comfort and staying still
If enclosed spaces or lying still worry you, say so when you book. The 70 cm wide-bore opening, music during your scan, and a team that walks you through every step make a real difference.
Common questions
Answers before you ask.
Does an MRI use radiation?
No. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves — not ionizing radiation like CT or X-ray — making it one of the safest imaging modalities available.
How long does a scan take?
About 30–45 minutes for the Whole Spine MRI, and 60–90 minutes for the Whole Body and Neuro-Spine packages. The Complete package runs longer. You’ll get an exact estimate when you book.
Is whole-body screening MRI comprehensive?
No. Whole-body screening MRI does not diagnose every condition and does not replace emergency care, clinical evaluation, recommended screening, or provider-ordered diagnostic imaging. Non-specific findings can also lead to additional testing and expense.
