Package Overview
Specialist Brain Check-Up
A comprehensive neurological screening package using 3.0 Tesla MRI — the gold standard for brain imaging. This package detects stroke lesions, brain tumours, infections, and white matter disease through high-resolution MRI, and screens for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and arterial stenosis using cerebrovascular MRA.
Blood-based stroke risk markers (homocysteine, HbA1c, lipid profile) are combined with liver and kidney function and a coagulation panel to give a full picture of cerebrovascular health. All results are reviewed by an MDT specialist team on the same day.
Included Diagnostics & Tests
Detailed list of laboratory tests, imaging scans, and clinical checks in this package.
| Diagnostic Test / Investigation | Clinical Scope & Details |
|---|---|
| 3.0T MRI — Brain Plain Scan | High-field MRI scan of the brain detecting stroke, silent infarcts, tumours, infections, and structural abnormalities. |
| MRA — Cerebrovascular Screening | Magnetic resonance angiography of cerebral vessels to detect aneurysms, stenosis, and arteriovenous malformations. |
| Stroke Risk Markers | Homocysteine (elevated levels linked to stroke risk), HbA1c (diabetes control), and full lipid profile. |
| Liver & Kidney Function | Liver enzyme panel and kidney function (creatinine, urea, eGFR). |
| Coagulation Panel | Prothrombin time (PT), APTT, fibrinogen, and D-dimer to assess clotting function and thrombus risk. |
| VIP Lounge + MDT Report Review | VIP lounge access and multidisciplinary specialist team review of all results on the same day. |
Patient Preparation Instructions
Please follow these preparation protocols to ensure the accuracy of your results.
Failure to follow preparation steps might require postponing your appointment.
