A magnetic camera examination of the whole body is suitable for those who want to get a clear and comprehensive insight into their state of health. This accurate advanced examination gives you a broad knowledge.
We offer you our most advanced health examination where the entire body's 14 organs are visualized and mapped. Sometimes symptoms of illness can appear late.

Preparations
If you have metal splinters, a pacemaker, an insulin pump or other electronic equipment in your body, you cannot be examined with a magnetic camera. Metal that is not magnetic, on the other hand, does not pose an obstacle for magnetic camera examination. Do not forget that you must fast 4 hours before the examination and drink only water.
How does it happen?
A magnetic camera looks like a tunnel with two openings on each side. During the examination itself, you lie still on a bed that is brought into a tunnel that is about 2 meters long.
The image taking itself produces sound, which is why hearing protection is offered. The magnetic camera takes several series of images during the examination, up to hundreds, in order to e.g. be able to image organs and tissues.
The examination usually takes 50-60 minutes and if you are worried (CLAUSTROPHOBIA) there are usually sedatives available. After a completed examination, you can almost always leave the clinic and return to your everyday life. If you are concerned about side effects, you can read our in-depth review on MRI SIDE EFFECTS.
Survey results
Your results are always reviewed by x-ray specialists and analyzed and compiled by specialist doctors in an individual written report that is sent to you within 7-10 working days after a completed examination.
