Prescan has been active for many years and is market leader, at national as well as international level in the field of preventive medical examination. This means that we already have tens of thousands of satisfied clients, among others, in the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and Austria.

Why preventive examination?
Perhaps you suspect that something is ''not quite right'' but never really find out just what is causing these complaints. Or perhaps simply as a precaution you want to have your state of health checked. The preventive examinations provided by Prescan are there for everyone who wants to know what his or her state of health is.

Many people only discover that they are ill after having complaints for a longer period of time. The chances of recovery or stabilization of an illness are certainly a much greater if the cause of the complaints can be discovered and treated while still at an early stage. Preventive examination puts you in a position ''to be there in time'' or simply get more certainty about your condition of health. That alone is often a big relief.

Take matters into your own hands
We do a lot to improve our quality of life, but when it concerns our own personal health we are always dependent on doctors and health insurances. Via Prescan you can take matters into your own hands by having a preventive examination done. You can be helped by Prescan with or without a referral. The examinations may be applied for on the advice of your doctor but also on your own initiative. Whatever your choice may be, from the moment that you phone Prescan, you will be in contact with our nursing co-ordinators who can answer your questions, offer a listening ear and also take care of your application. We are there for you. Make use of it!

Total Body Scan
The Total Body Scan offers a total picture of your body. During this examination the most vital organs and blood vessels are examined by means of MRI and CT scans. To give you the most complete picture of your body Prescan advises you to expand the Total Body Scan with the Cardioprogram Plus and the Laboratory Complete test. The Total Body Scan will take approximately half a day. On the same day your results will be discussed with you. During your conversation with the doctor he will explain the results of the examination, organ for organ, while giving a presentation on a monitor. The scanned pictures will be given to you on a CD-rom which you can take home with you.
