Couldn't load pickup availability
Add an MRI scan to your health checkup or as a standalone imaging study in mainland China.
What's included (per body part)
- Appointment booking at a partnered hospital
- Pre-scan check-in support
- Full report translation (Chinese → English)
Not included: an English-speaking companion at the hospital. You can add one for US$50 per half day (4 hours) when booked with a checkup package, or US$100 per half day on its own. If your booking already includes a companion (whole-body MRI, whole-body PET-CT or GI endoscopy packages), tell us before adding one. If you are adding a region to a whole-body MRI package, the companion included with that package is with you for the whole visit.
Body parts available
Head (MRI plain + DWI / MRA cerebral arteries) · Cervical spine (plain) · Thoracic spine · Lumbar spine · Pelvis (plain + DWI) · Upper abdomen (plain + DWI) · Lower abdomen (excl. pelvis) · Kidneys · Prostate (plain + DWI) · Bilateral hip / knee / ankle / shoulder · Cardiac and great vessels · Sinus / Nasopharynx / Pituitary · Bladder · And more.
If you need multiple body parts, add the quantity in cart — each unit covers one body part.
Hardware tier
Standard tier-3 hospital MRI scanners are 1.5T or 3T from Siemens / GE / Philips / United Imaging. Specify a preferred tesla strength at booking if your clinical question requires 3T (e.g., subtle MS lesions, prostate MRI (plain + DWI), fine MSK).
5.0T option (Shenzhen only): A 5.0T MRI scan can be arranged at a hospital in Shenzhen, priced per body part (each body part is one unit in your cart); more than one body part can be scanned, but only the body parts the hospital doctor orders. It is not offered as a routine screening scan or as part of a whole-body package: a doctor at that hospital must order it for a specific clinical question, so an outpatient specialist visit there may be needed first. Please message us before ordering this option (WhatsApp +852 4703 8475 or info@sinocarelink.org) with your clinical question and any previous results. We will ask the hospital whether a 5.0T scan can be arranged for the body part(s) and question (the decision is the hospital doctor's), and confirm any specialist visit needed and the appointment date. The US$300 price is per body part and does not include the hospital's outpatient registration fee for that visit, or any other tests or contrast the doctor orders; the hospital sets these fees, and we will tell you the amounts before we book. We ask the hospital doctor to order the scan before it is booked. If the doctor does not order the scan for a body part, we refund in full what you paid us for that body part (see "If We Can't Go Ahead" in our Refund Policy).
Turnaround
The hospital releases its radiology report first; allow 1–3 weeks for the complete English-translated report. We do not promise same-day reports.
🩺 Before Your Scan — Preparation Instructions
- This add-on is a plain (non-contrast) MRI by default. Most regions need no special preparation, but upper-abdomen scans usually need at least 6 hours without food (water is usually fine) and pelvis scans may need a moderately full bladder. Requirements differ by hospital — your coordinator confirms the exact instructions for your appointment.
- Metal & safety screening (critical): tell us before booking if you have a pacemaker or defibrillator, cochlear implant, aneurysm clips, vascular coils/stents, metal implants/prostheses, dental implants or magnetic denture attachments, eye implants, an IUD, or metal fragments in the body. Remove all metal on the day; contact-lens wearers should bring regular glasses. Tell us if you are claustrophobic or may be pregnant.
- If an enhanced (contrast) MRI is clinically needed, we will confirm it with you before the scan, including any extra cost. It uses gadolinium contrast, and we will check for any allergy or kidney problems (a recent creatinine/eGFR test may be required). Sedated or contrast-enhanced scans may need extra preparation — we'll tell you.
These are general guidelines. Your SinoCareLink coordinator will confirm the exact instructions for your appointment based on your health profile and the hospital’s requirements.
