Whole Body MRI at
Sperling Prostate Center
Sperling Prostate Center offers Whole Body MRI on our powerful, state-of-the-art 3T magnet. The best health outcomes are possible with early detection—even if there are no symptoms. Unlike single-condition screening such as a mammogram or colonoscopy, our experienced team scans your total body in a single session.
Our Whole Body MRI detects and defines very small, early cancer or other abnormalities at a time when treatment offers the most success. And, unlike X-rays, CT, and PET/CT imaging, it has the highest average scan precision with no exposure to radiation.
