The clinic uses a proprietary Full Body Scan protocol developed exclusively for its patients. This advanced imaging is performed with Primum Imagem to detect silent health threats. The procedure is non-invasive – no intravenous contrast or ionizing radiation. It includes 14 summarized MRI scans that give a detailed view of internal health.
Every scan goes through a rigorous "post-scan review" process. Three sub-specialized radiologists interpret the results to maximize accuracy. Patients then receive a structured assessment of their current health status. This high-precision data helps the Longevity Board optimize physical performance and long-term recovery.
B-Life Clinic offers a structured journey for patients traveling from abroad. Staff provide consultations in both English and Portuguese. The diagnostic process is integrated, from initial consultation to final imaging interpretation. This means international visitors receive a complete health plan during their stay in Cascais.
