Your MRI sees what you cannot feel.
Many conditions develop over years before symptoms appear. 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
Preparation (10 min)
Remove metal objects. Comfortable clothing. A short briefing from our team.
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.
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.

What does a whole-body MRI at YEARS cost?

Frequently asked questions about whole-body MRI
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.
No. At YEARS you book directly online, without a referral. The lead time to an appointment is currently four to six weeks.
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.
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.
Annually. Changes over time are often more informative than a single scan.
Our MRI has a wide opening. Many patients with mild claustrophobia manage well. Talk to us beforehand — we will find a solution.
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.
