A Full Body MRI, also called a Whole Body MRI or WB MRI, uses powerful magnets and radio waves to capture detailed images of your entire body. There is no radiation, and the process is safe for most people. A visit usually takes around 45 to 90 minutes, with the actual scan lasting about 30 to 60 minutes. You can book at participating imaging centers through LabFinder for a smooth and convenient experience.
A Full Body MRI, also known as Whole Body MRI or Total Body MRI, gives a detailed look at your organs, tissues, and bones from head to toe. It helps doctors check for signs of inflammation, injuries, or early signs of certain conditions. It does not use radiation, so it’s a safe and comfortable way to get a full view of your health.
Common reasons: Some people get a Full Body MRI for peace of mind or preventive health screening. Others may take it because of symptoms that need further evaluation or to monitor an existing condition. It can also help detect hidden issues that might not cause symptoms yet. If you’re unsure whether this scan is right for you, it’s best to talk with your doctor.
Your visit is usually around 45 to 90 minutes. You’ll change into a gown and lie still on a table that slides into the MRI machine. The scan is painless, but you’ll hear some tapping or humming sounds. Most centers offer headphones, music, or a call button so you can stay comfortable during the scan. The staff will be nearby to guide you and make sure you’re at ease the whole time.
This exam is usually safe for most people. It does not use radiation unless noted for this test. Tell the team about any implants, devices, or possible pregnancy so they can confirm safety. If contrast is recommended, the staff will review allergy history and kidney checks as needed. If you feel anxious in tight spaces, ask about comfort options such as music or a wider opening scanner. The team will make sure you’re supported and comfortable throughout your visit.
Wear comfortable clothing without metal and remove jewelry, watches, or credit cards before the scan. Avoid eating heavy meals right before your appointment unless instructed otherwise. Bring any past imaging results or doctor’s notes to help the radiologist compare findings. If you have metal implants, pacemakers, or other devices, tell the staff ahead of time. The team will walk you through each step so you feel confident and prepared.
This scan may help detect inflammation, infections, tumors, cysts, or organ abnormalities. It can also help doctors evaluate bone, muscle, or joint issues. Results should always be reviewed by your doctor together with your symptoms and health history to understand what they mean for you.
A Whole Body CT scan also looks at many areas of the body but uses radiation instead of magnets. A PET/CT scan checks for cell activity and is often used in cancer screening or monitoring. A regional MRI, such as a brain or spine MRI, focuses on one body part for more detail. Your doctor can help decide which scan is best based on your goals and medical history.
