A new era of medical diagnostics has dawned in the Dominican Republic. The state-of-the-art ambulatory center, Medical Express, has introduced the Total Scan, an advanced full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. This technology promises an integral, precise, and non-invasive view of a patient’s overall health.

The Total Scan is designed to support prevention, early diagnosis, and monitoring of various pathologies, benefiting both symptomatic patients and those with identified risk factors.The system aims to provide a thorough health overview, facilitating proactive medical care.

Unveiling the Potential: What the Total Scan Can Detect

the Total Scan offers a broad spectrum of diagnostic capabilities. It can contribute to the detection of:

• Tumors
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Neurological disorders
• Musculoskeletal ailments

Moreover, the technology provides detailed visualization of critical organs, including the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and prostate, among others.

The Technology Behind the Innovation

This advanced study is conducted using the Signa Prime 1.5 tesla resonator, a leading-edge technological platform. this system is capable of acquiring high-resolution images rapidly, without exposing patients to ionizing radiation or requiring the use of contrast medium in many cases.

The equipment incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that optimize image reconstruction and processing. This allows for a clearer visualization of body tissues and structures, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.

Expert Insight

Complete body resonance, with improved artificial intelligence technology, allows us to evaluate more efficient complex anatomical areas and detect subtle findings with greater precision.
