DWIBS Premier Health Checkup (Whole Body Screening And Internal Health Insight)

· Those in Tokyo who want to screen for cancer without radiation or injections.
· Those who want a non-invasive, quick, and comfortable health checkup.
· Those who want to avoid fasting or rest time before and after the test.
· Those who wish to reduce exposure to medical imaging radiation.
· Those who wish to include brain or abdominal scans for a full-body check.

DWIBS Premier Health Checkup combines three diagnostic tools – DWIBS MRI, chest CT, along with brain and abdominal imaging – to offer a comprehensive checkup for early cancer and disease detection. DWIBS (Diffusion-Weighted Whole-Body Imaging with Background Suppression) detects abnormal cell activity without using radiation or contrast agents, making it safer than PET-CT. Inclusive of CT and MRI scans of key organs, this package provides a thorough internal health assessment with minimal discomfort, no injections, and no fasting required.

The DWIBS method uses advanced MRI technology to detect abnormalities by tracking the movement of water molecules in tissues – ideal for spotting high-density cancer cells. Unlike PET-CT, DWIBS does not require radioactive tracers or injections. Chest CT provides high-resolution images of the lungs, while brain and abdominal MRI/CT scans offer detailed views of key internal organs. The process is non-invasive, takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, and avoids radiation exposure (except for the CT scan, with a small dose of ionizing radiation).

1. Consultation and medical history review will be conducted.
2. MRI scanning using the DWIBS method will be performed.
3. A chest CT scan will be conducted.
4. Additional MRI or CT scans will be performed for the brain and abdominal area.
5. Images will be analyzed and personalized recommendations will be given.
6. Post-care instructions will be provided by the doctor.

Q1: What is included in a whole body MRI?
A1: A whole body MRI includes scans of the entire body using the DWIBS method. It detects abnormalities by analyzing water movement in tissues, focusing on areas like the brain, chest, abdomen, and other critical organs for early signs of disease or cancer.

Q2: How long is a full body DWIBS?
A2: Full body DWIBS scan typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the areas being examined.

Q3: Can the results be seen immediately?
A3: No, the results are not immediately visible. The images will be analyzed by the doctor at our affiliated clinic, and personalized recommendations will be provided after a thorough evaluation, which may take some time within 7 to 14 days.

Q4: Can DWIBS tell how old an injury is?
A4: DWIBS is primarily used for detecting abnormalities like cancer or disease. It is not specifically designed to determine the age of injuries but may help identify areas of tissue damage or inflammation.

Q5: Do I need to fast before DWIBS?
A5: No, fasting is not required before a DWIBS scan. You can eat and drink normally before the checkup, but it is advisable to avoid heavy meals or alcohol immediately before the procedure to ensure comfort.
