At First Health Check, we believe that world-class technology must be paired with a restorative environment. Our 72-hour diagnostic retreat in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India is designed to give your body the time it needs to provide accurate data. This approach is far superior to the rush of a typical clinical setting.
Why 3 Tesla MRI is the Superior Choice for Preventative Care
The strength of an MRI scanner is measured in Tesla (T). A 3 Tesla MRI has a magnetic field twice as strong as a standard 1.5T scanner. This increased power allows for significantly higher resolution. As a result, it provides clearer images of soft tissues, the brain, and the heart.
For a patient, this means the scanner can identify tiny lesions or abnormalities that a lower-strength machine might overlook. This level of detail is particularly vital in areas like prostate screening and neurological assessments. Specifically, the 3T scanner is exceptional at mapping blood flow and identifying early-stage tumours. According to data from the NHS England diagnostic wait times report, the pressure on UK imaging services is at an all-time high. For this reason, many proactive patients are now looking internationally for immediate access to 3T technology without the wait.
The Power of 17: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Your Health
In many private clinics, a small team of consultants review your results. We take a different approach. Every First Health Check patient is supported by a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) of 17 specialist doctors and consultants.
This board of experts includes surgeons and specialists in oncology, cardiology, urology, and neurology. Furthermore, because our private full-body health assessment takes place over 72 hours, these specialists have the actual time required to cross-reference their findings. They work together to ensure that every scan is interpreted with the highest level of clinical scrutiny. This collaborative “clinical board” means that 17 sets of expert eyes are focused on your longevity.
Why the 72-Hour Sanctuary Beats a 6-Hour Marathon
Some premium London clinics offer Platinum packages that are finished in just six or seven hours. However, while this may seem convenient, it can be physically exhausting for the patient. Rushing through numerous complex tests in one single day can cause stress. Subsequently, this may skew important results like your blood pressure or resting heart rate.
We believe that accuracy requires a calm environment. Therefore, our 72-hour model is a diagnostic retreat rather than a clinical procedure.
- Rest and Rejuvenation: We include scheduled rest at a 5-star hotel so your body can rejuvenate between intense scans. This prevents diagnostic fatigue and ensures you stay calm and relaxed.
- Accuracy: A relaxed patient provides more stable physiological data. This ensures your heart and metabolic readings are a true reflection of your health.
- All-Inclusive Experience: For £5,000, our Platinum Preventive Health Assessment includes the 3T MRI, 17 specialist reviews, 5-star accommodation, and private transfers. We also include flexible local sightseeing and a celebratory river cruise with a buffet dinner to conclude your healthcare journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 3 Tesla MRI safe for people with claustrophobia?
Yes. Our uMR Omega scanner has an ultra-wide 75cm bore. This provides 15 percent more space than standard scanners. Additionally, the Quiet Scan technology makes it a much more comfortable and relaxing experience than traditional MRI machines.
How does the 17-doctor review work?
Instead of several doctors reading your entire health report, we involve 17 specialists. Each doctor focuses on their specific field of expertise, such as cardiology or oncology. This collaborative board ensures that every part of your body is reviewed by a true specialist.
Why is the assessment spread over 72 hours?
Accuracy is our main priority. Spreading the tests over three days ensures you are well-rested and calm. Consequently, your physiological data is more stable, which leads to a much more precise and reliable health profile.
