A whole-body MRI makes changes visible — early enough to act. ### Head & brain Aneurysms, tumours, neurodegenerative changes, circulatory disorders. ### Vessels & aorta Aortic aneurysms, vascular changes. Note: cardiac diagnostics are performed by echocardiography and ultrasound, not by MRI. ### Thorax & mediastinum Lymph node changes, mediastinal findings, abnormalities in the chest. Note: MRI is not an established method for lung cancer screening. ### Abdomen & organs Liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen — tumours, cysts, organ changes. ### Spine & joints Disc herniation, fractures, degenerative changes. ### Soft tissue Muscle, fatty tissue, lymph nodes — subtle changes that cannot be detected by palpation. ## 60 minutes. No needles. No radiation. How your MRI works at YEARS Step 01 ### Preparation (10 min) Remove metal objects. Comfortable clothing. A short briefing from our team. Step 02 ### Scan (around 60 min) You lie relaxed in the scanner. Our proprietary protocol scans systematically from head to toe. Headphones with music. An emergency button within reach at all times. Step 03 ### Findings (within one week) A radiologist evaluates your images. Your YEARS physician then discusses the findings with you in person — within a week. Important: At YEARS the MRI is not an isolated scan. From Evolve it is part of a comprehensive diagnostic day with 120+ biomarkers, ECG, ultrasound and a physician consultation. The combination is what makes the difference. ## Not every MRI is the same.

Hartmann Founder & CEO Hamex Group ## Frequently asked questions about whole-body MRI Is an MRI painful? + No. MRI works with magnetic fields — no radiation, no needles, no pain. You lie still for around 60 minutes. Headphones and music make it more comfortable. Do I need a referral? + No. At YEARS you book directly online, without a referral. The lead time to an appointment is currently four to six weeks. Does health insurance cover the cost? + A preventive MRI is generally not covered by German statutory health insurance. Privately insured patients can often obtain reimbursement. The YEARS programme is designed for self-payers. What happens if something is found? + Your YEARS physician discusses every finding with you in person. Where findings are abnormal, we coordinate referral to specialists. Findings caught early are generally more treatable — which is precisely the point of screening. How often should I have a whole-body MRI? + Annually. Changes over time are often more informative than a single scan. I am claustrophobic — is it still possible? + Our MRI has a wide opening. Many patients with mild claustrophobia manage well. Talk to us beforehand — we will find a solution. How does this differ from Neko Health or Prenuvo? + Neko Health uses sensor technology (no MRI). Prenuvo offers whole-body MRI as a standalone service. YEARS combines MRI with 87+ biomarkers, cardiac and lung function diagnostics and a physician consultation — in one day, under one roof. ## Also of interest Whole-body MRI in Berlin Why an MRI alone is not enough — and what belongs with it Providers compared Four provider types and eight questions before booking Cancer screening Early detection with MRI, liquid biopsy and biomarkers YEARS Evolve Prevention programme with MRI, liquid biopsy and 120+ biomarkers Evidence & scientific standards Why we classify MRI as research-adjacent, with incidental-finding rates and sources Safety Information ## Important: Please contact us before your appointment if any of the following applies An MRI scan is safe for most people.
