DWIBS Health Checkup Package at our affiliated clinic is inclusive of Whole Body DWIBS and Chest CT Scan.

Whole Body DWIBS (Diffusion Weighted Imaging with Background Suppression) is an innovative MRI scan which uses magnetic fields and radio waves to take detailed pictures of the inside of your body without harmful radiation. DWIBS can spot unusual growth, like tumors or inflammation, by seeing how water moves in your tissues. This helps the doctors identify problems early, sometimes even before you develop any symptoms.

Chest CT Scan is another imaging test that focuses on the chest area. It uses X-rays to create clear, cross-sectional images of your lungs, heart, blood vessels, and other parts of the chest. Chest CT Scan is effective at spotting infections, tumors, or other lung problems. When Whole Body DWIBS and Chest CT Scan are done together, they give a full picture of your body’s health, helping doctors check for diseases as well as monitor ongoing treatments more accurately.

DWIBS captures images by detecting the movement of water molecules within body tissues. Areas with restricted water movement often indicate the presence of tumours, hence aiding in early diagnosis. Chest CT Scan, on the other hand, uses X-rays to take multiple images from different angles, which are then combined to create detailed cross-sectional views of the chest. This scan provides a comprehensive overview of the body’s internal structures, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
