# How often should I get a preventive scan?

Category: Our scans & tests

There is no medical guideline that sets a fixed interval for full-body MRI in healthy people. Whether and when a repeat scan makes sense depends on your results. Your doctor will discuss this with you in your report and at your follow-up consultation.

If you know you carry a genetic predisposition to cancer, for example Li-Fraumeni syndrome, your screening belongs in a specialist surveillance programme. Our check-up does not replace it.
