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.
