Preventative imaging and pre-screening

Understand your risk. Plan with better information.

Compare cardiometabolic, neurological and cancer-risk screening pathways, then confirm the appropriate imaging with your clinician.

Compare three screening pathways.

Use the same decision points across every programme, then confirm suitability with your clinician. Starting prices are shown; optional scans and consumables may change the final total.

Programme Heart & metabolic health

Cardiometabolic Screening

Combines cardiac, vascular, liver and metabolic imaging to identify risk markers that can inform a clinician-led prevention plan.

May suit
  • Cardiovascular or metabolic risk factors
  • Executive health screening
  • Clinician-led primary prevention
Focus
Heart, blood vessels, liver and body composition.
Radiation
Low-dose calcium scan plus radiation-free ultrasound; optional scans may add exposure.
Starting price From R11 260
View included scans for Cardiometabolic Screening

Coronary Calcium Score (CAC)

1–3 mSv · Low dose

Measures coronary artery calcification to support cardiovascular risk assessment and clinical planning.

Hepatic Shear Wave Elastography

No radiation

Ultrasound assessment of liver stiffness and fat-related changes, interpreted alongside your wider metabolic profile.

Carotid Doppler

No radiation

Ultrasound imaging of carotid blood flow, narrowing and plaque burden to support vascular assessment.

DEXA Body Composition

Optional · 0.001 mSv

Estimates visceral fat, lean muscle mass and bone density as part of a wider metabolic assessment.

Coronary CT Angiogram

Optional · Price on application

Provides a more detailed view of the coronary arteries when calcium-score or lipid results justify further assessment. Scheduled at a main hospital facility.

Programme Brain & vascular health

Neurometabolic Screening

Reviews brain structure, vascular findings and related metabolic risk markers to support an informed cognitive-health discussion.

May suit
  • Cognitive-health planning
  • Memory or executive-function concerns
  • Family history of dementia or stroke
Focus
Brain structure, carotid circulation and metabolic liver health.
Radiation
Core MRI and ultrasound use no ionising radiation; optional DEXA adds very low exposure.
Starting price From R18 580

MRI Brain + Volumetrics

No radiation

Provides structural and volumetric information, including white-matter, vascular, cortical and incidental findings.

Hepatic Shear Wave Elastography

No radiation

Assesses liver stiffness and fat-related changes as part of the programme's wider metabolic review.

Carotid Doppler

No radiation

Shows carotid blood flow, narrowing and plaque burden relevant to cerebrovascular assessment.

DEXA Body Composition

Optional · 0.001 mSv

Estimates visceral fat, lean muscle mass and bone density as part of a wider metabolic assessment.

Programme Oncology surveillance

Cancer Risk Screening

A clinician-selected surveillance pathway for people with elevated cancer risk, using mainly MRI-based imaging to limit ionising radiation.

May suit
  • Strong family history of cancer
  • BRCA or another inherited risk factor
  • Clinician-directed high-risk surveillance
Focus
Whole-body surveillance with sex- and risk-appropriate imaging.
Radiation
Mainly MRI-based; mammography or optional CT imaging may add exposure.
Starting price From R13 505
View included scans for Cancer Risk Screening

Whole Body Diffusion-Weighted MRI (DWI)

No radiation

Uses diffusion-weighted MRI to survey multiple body regions. Suitability and findings are interpreted in clinical context.

Mammogram / Breast MRI (female)

0.4 mSv / No radiation

Mammography or breast MRI is selected according to age, breast density, family history and clinical guidance.

Prostate MRI (male)

No radiation

Provides detailed prostate imaging when PSA levels, family history or clinical concern warrant assessment.

Low-Dose Chest CT

Optional · 0.5 mSv

Considered for clinically appropriate patients according to age, smoking history and individual risk.

CT Colonography

Optional · 5–7 mSv

Can be considered as a non-invasive alternative to colonoscopy for appropriate patients.

Need one focused scan instead?

These scans are available individually when a full screening programme is not required. Clinical suitability is confirmed first.

No radiation

Whole Body Diffusion-Weighted MRI

Multi-region MRI used in clinician-selected surveillance. Suitability and findings are interpreted in clinical context.

R9 830
0.001 mSv

DEXA Body Composition

Estimates visceral fat, lean muscle mass and bone density for metabolic and musculoskeletal assessment.

Bone density + body composition
R3 820
Bone density only
R2 595
No radiation

Hepatic Shear Wave Elastography

Ultrasound assessment of liver stiffness and fat-related changes.

R1 575
5–7 mSv · Moderate

CT Colonography

Can be considered as a non-invasive alternative to colonoscopy for appropriate patients.

R4 855

Not sure whether a focused scan is appropriate?

Start with a screening consultation, or ask the team on WhatsApp.

Blood work may be recommended before imaging.

Blood work may be recommended before imaging based on your clinical history, risk factors and chosen pathway. Your clinician will confirm the appropriate panel and whether any preparation is required.

Start with a clinician-guided screening consultation.

Use the consultation to confirm the appropriate pathway, preparation and next steps for your history and goals.
