Speeds up your hospital booking. You can also provide this later.

A multi-region MRI screening package at a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen (Taikang Qianhai Hospital). You choose how many body regions to scan; we handle booking, the bilingual companion on the day, and the English-translated radiology report.

What each package covers

Package Regions Price
Essential 4 — brain MRI + DWI, intracranial MRA (cerebral vessels), upper abdomen MRI + DWI, pelvis MRI + DWI $599
Advanced 7 — everything in Essential plus cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine MRI $899
Premium 10 — everything in Advanced plus cardiac great-vessel MRI and any two of: knee (left/right), shoulder, hip, ankle, or sinus / nasopharynx / pituitary / hippocampus $1,299

Included

  • Appointment booking at a partnered tertiary hospital in Shenzhen (Taikang Qianhai Hospital)
  • Bilingual medical companion for the whole visit — registration, every scan station, and the radiologist hand-off
  • English-translated radiology report, written in standard clinical terminology any Western-trained physician can read
  • DICOM image files on USB or secure link, so your own doctor can review the raw images
  • One coordinated price — no separate hospital cashier steps to work out on the day

Add another region

Any single extra region can be added to a package for $150. Booking one to three regions on their own, without a package, is $200 per region in Shenzhen.

Looking for the value option?

The same regions on a Philips 1.5T scanner at an outpatient imaging clinic start at $399 (4 regions), $649 (7) or $899 (9) — non-contrast, no DWI, no cardiac. See the 1.5T package, or read 1.5T vs 3.0T: which one do you need — we screen wide on 1.5T and re-check a single region here on 3.0T.

Before you book — three honest notes

  • This is not a single head-to-ankle protocol. Prenuvo and Ezra run one continuous whole-body sequence. Chinese tertiary hospitals scan region by region: the team changes the coil and repositions you between regions, adding 5-10 minutes each time. It is a different procedure and takes longer. DWI is included for the head, abdomen and pelvis — see the FAQ below for the details the hospital's radiology department has given us. Plan a full day, not a fixed scan slot.
  • Shenzhen only for now. Shanghai and Beijing require a physician order and hospital registration workflow that we cannot yet run end to end in one visit; pricing for those cities is being finalised. Ask us for a quote.
  • Report timing. Allow one to three weeks for the complete English-translated report. We do not promise same-day reports.

MRI safety at Taikang Qianhai: what we will ask you before booking

MRI uses a strong magnet. Before we confirm your slot, we go through the same safety questions as the hospital's MRI safety assessment form. Please tell us before you pay if any of these apply:

  • A pacemaker, defibrillator or artificial heart valve
  • A cochlear implant or middle-ear prosthesis
  • Vascular coils, filters, stents or aneurysm clips
  • Metal fragments in the skin, body or eyes, or any eye implant
  • Orthopaedic metal: pins, plates, screws or joint replacements
  • Dental implants, bridges or magnetic denture attachments. If you know the brand or material, send it to us; the implant card or a note from your dentist is ideal
  • Any other implant or device, even if you were told it is non-magnetic
  • Pregnancy or possible pregnancy, or an IUD (coil)
  • Claustrophobia

Whether an implant is acceptable is decided by the hospital's radiology team, not by us, and sometimes only on the day. Some devices rule out MRI altogether. If the hospital cannot clear a device, we will tell you before you travel where possible.

On the day: arrive 15 minutes early, wear comfortable clothes and leave metal at your hotel (phone, keys, cards, watch, coins, hair clips, belts, underwire bras, zips, pins and any wearable heart monitor). Remove medicated patches or creams from the area being scanned. If you have a fever (38 °C or above), tell us and we will reschedule.

Preparation: the upper-abdomen scan needs at least 6 hours without food (water is fine); the pelvis scan needs a moderately full bladder and an empty bowel. Your coordinator confirms the exact timing for your appointment.

Not included

Flights, hotel, contrast agent where a specific indication requires it, and any follow-up treatment or specialist consultation arising from the findings. If a scan turns up something that needs a specialist, we arrange that separately and quote it before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 3.0T MRI screening package include diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI/ADC)?

DWI is included for the head, abdomen and pelvis in all three packages. It is not included for the limb areas (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle). DWI can be added to an individual area for US$30 per area, charged separately — tell us when you book. For the spine and the other regions in the Advanced and Premium packages, ask us before you book and we will confirm with the hospital. (Clinical details on this page were given to us by the radiology department at Taikang Qianhai Hospital in September 2026 and apply to the 3.0T package only; prices are SinoCareLink's.)

How thin are the slices for brain and abdominal imaging?

Abdomen: 3 mm. Brain: 6 mm.

Is the brain scan a dedicated brain MRI, or a quick whole-body sequence?

The brain MRI uses sequences designed specifically for brain imaging, rather than a quick pass taken from a whole-body screening sequence.

Can I have a dedicated prostate MRI?

Yes. The hospital can perform a dedicated prostate MRI. It is not a standard part of the MRI screening packages: you can add it on top of your package for US$150, or book it on its own for US$200. A full multiparametric protocol with contrast is a different examination; if your doctor has asked for one, tell us before you book and we will check with the hospital.

Are the liver and pancreas scanned with dedicated sequences?

The liver and pancreas are covered in the upper-abdomen MRI. The abdominal scan uses 3 mm slices, and the liver is also scanned at 3 mm; the hospital regards this as a dedicated protocol for these organs within the abdominal examination.

Is gadolinium contrast used?

No. The hospital does not use gadolinium contrast for health-screening scans. If contrast-enhanced imaging is clinically indicated, it would be considered separately; it is not part of the package and is quoted separately.

Who reads the scans?

The hospital tells us the scans are reviewed and reported by radiologists with experience in oncologic imaging or whole-body MRI, rather than by general screening radiologists.

Can I have an MRI if I have dental implants?

Often yes, but it is the hospital's radiology team that decides, not us. Tell us before booking how many implants you have, where they were placed and, if you know, the brand or material (an implant card or a note from your dentist helps). Magnetic denture attachments and some crowns or bridges need extra checks. Dental metal can also blur images of the face and jaw area.

Which implants or conditions might stop me having an MRI?

Pacemakers and defibrillators, some heart valves, cochlear implants, certain aneurysm clips, metal fragments in the eye and some other devices. Some are acceptable under specific conditions, others are not. Please list every implant when you enquire; the hospital confirms with a doctor before the scan.

I'm pregnant or might be. Can I book?

Tell us first. At Taikang Qianhai, every female patient is asked about pregnancy and IUDs; at any facility, if you may be pregnant, a doctor must review this before any MRI. A screening MRI is normally postponed.

I'm claustrophobic. What are my options?

Tell us before booking, and we will check with the hospital before you pay. The scan is done region by region and you spend a long time inside the scanner, which many people with claustrophobia find difficult. The hospital decides whether the scan is suitable; we cannot promise sedation or that every region can be completed.

Do I need to fast?

At Taikang Qianhai (3.0T package), the upper-abdomen scan needs at least 6 hours without food (water is fine), and the pelvis scan needs a moderately full bladder and an empty bowel. Your coordinator confirms the preparation for your appointment. The 1.5T clinic has the same fasting requirement; other hospitals may differ.

What should I wear and leave behind?

Comfortable clothing without metal. Leave behind or lock away your phone, cards, keys, watch, coins, hair clips, belt, underwire bra, jewellery and any wearable heart monitor. At Taikang Qianhai (3.0T package), you will change into a gown, should remove medicated patches or creams on the area being scanned, and should tell us if you have a fever of 38 °C or higher — we will reschedule. Other hospitals and the 1.5T clinic may differ; your coordinator confirms the requirements for your appointment.

Do these answers apply to the 1.5T package as well?

Not necessarily. They describe the 3.0T package at Taikang Qianhai Hospital. The 1.5T package is performed at a separate outpatient imaging clinic with its own protocol (non-contrast, without DWI). For how the two compare, see 1.5T vs 3.0T MRI: which one do you need?

How long does the scan take?

Regions are scanned one at a time, and the team changes the coil and repositions you between regions, adding 5–10 minutes each time. Plan a full day.

When do I get the report?

Allow 1–3 weeks for the complete English-translated report. You receive your DICOM files before you leave. We do not promise same-day reports.
