Single Region MRI Scan (Non-Contrast)

Get a fast, non-invasive assessment of your cardiovascular health. This specialized scan detects calcified plaque in your coronary arteries to measure early heart disease risk before any symptoms show.

Who It's For

• Individuals 40+ with Risk Factors: Anyone with a history of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.

• Proactive Health Management: Adults looking to establish a clear baseline for their long-term heart and vascular health.

• Statin & Prevention Decision-Making: Individuals and physicians evaluating whether to start preventative heart therapies or lifestyle interventions.

What's Included & Why It Matters

1. Non-Contrast Cardiac CT Imaging

• Coronary Artery Calcification Scan: Captures detailed cross-sectional images of the heart's blood vessels without requiring an IV line or contrast dye.

• Agatston Score Calculation: Measures the exact density and extent of calcified plaque buildup within the coronary arteries.

• Why It Matters: Uncovers "silent" arterial narrowing early, giving you a precise numerical risk score long before chest pain or shortness of breath occurs.

2. English Report of Results

• Official Clinical Findings: A detailed analytical report provided for your medical records.

• Why It Matters: Provides clear risk categorizations to review directly with your physician or cardiologist for long-term health planning.

How It Works

1. Prep: Wear comfortable clothing and avoid caffeine or stimulants on the day of the test to help keep your heart rate steady.

2. Scan: Lie flat on the CT table while ECG leads monitor your heart rhythm. The table glides through the scanner while you momentarily hold your breath.

3. Time: The actual imaging takes just a few seconds, with the full appointment lasting about 10 to 15 minutes.

Good to Know

• Report Delivery: Your complete English report will be ready in 7–10 business days.

• Non-Invasive: Requires no IV injections, needles, dyes, or recovery time.

• Low Radiation: Uses optimized cardiac protocols to deliver low-dose imaging tailored specifically to the heart.

• Heart Rate Awareness: A calm, steady heart rate yields the clearest imaging results, so taking time to relax prior to the scan is recommended.

iHope Clinic: Available Wednesdays & Thursdays only.

Get a complete, non-invasive evaluation of your entire upper and lower digestive tract under painless sedation. This combined procedure visualizes the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and large intestine to detect ulcers, inflammation, polyps, and early signs of gastrointestinal disease.

Who It's For

• Digestive Symptom Investigation: Individuals experiencing persistent heartburn, acid reflux, stomach pain, chronic bloating, unexplained nausea, or changes in bowel habits (e.g., chronic diarrhea or constipation).

• Colorectal & Gastric Screening: Anyone aged 45+ or those with a personal or family history of gastrointestinal polyps, stomach cancer, or colorectal cancer. (Rather than waiting for symptoms or the public age 45 threshold, many adults in Taiwan electively book this screening between ages 30 and 40+.)

• Comprehensive Gut Health Check: Patients seeking a full top-to-bottom screening of their digestive system in a single, painless appointment.

What's Included & Why It Matters

1. Painless Upper Endoscopy (Gastroscopy)

• Upper GI Inspection: Direct visual examination of the lining of your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a high-definition endoscope.

• Why It Matters: Identifies gastritis, ulcers, H. pylori infection, hiatus hernia, and early upper GI lesions.

2. Painless Colonoscopy

• Lower GI Inspection: Full visual evaluation of the entire large intestine (colon) and rectum.

• Why It Matters: The gold standard for detecting and preventing colorectal cancer through early identification of precancerous polyps.

3. Conscious Sedation / Anesthesia

• Painless Comfort: Administered by trained medical staff to ensure you remain completely comfortable and pain-free throughout both procedures.

4. English Report of Results

• Official Clinical Findings: A detailed analytical report provided in English for your medical records.

• Why It Matters: Offers precise diagnostic insights to share with your gastroenterologist or primary care physician for ongoing care.

How It Works

1. Medication Adjustments (1 Week Prior): Stop taking blood thinners (e.g., Aspirin) and health supplements (such as Fish Oil, Ginseng, Ginkgo, Vitamin E, Lutein, Turmeric, Natto, or Red Yeast Rice) 7 days before your exam.

2. Diet Prep (2 Days Prior): Switch to a low-residue diet (e.g., plain porridge, plain noodles, white toast, or low-residue meal replacements) to reduce intestinal stool.

3. Bowel Prep (1 Day Prior & Exam Morning): Take your prescribed bowel cleansing agent (e.g., Bowklean) in two split doses as instructed, drinking plenty of water/sports drinks until your stool is a clear, light yellowish liquid.

4. Fasting & Water Ban: Stop all water intake 4 hours before the examination to prevent aspiration during anesthesia.

5. Procedure & Recovery: The painless procedure takes place under sedation. Afterwards, you will rest in the recovery area until the sedative wears off.

Good to Know

• Report Delivery: Your complete English report will be ready in 7–10 business days.

• Transportation Safety: Because you will receive sedation, you must not drive, ride a bicycle, or operate machinery after the procedure. Walking and taxi is okay.

• Clinic Rules: Do not wear contact lenses or nail polish/gel polish on the day of the exam, as these interfere with vital sign monitoring.

• On-Site Medical Procedures: Biopsies, tissue removal, polyp removal, hemostatic clips, or H. pylori testing performed based on the doctor's judgment during the scan are separate medical treatments and incur additional fees at check-out.

• Medication Guidance: If you take diabetes medications or anticoagulants, consult your physician for exact suspension instructions. Continue taking chronic constipation medications as usual.

Get high-resolution 3D imaging of the blood vessels supplying your brain. Using advanced magnetic resonance technology enhanced with intravenous contrast dye, this scan provides clear visualization of cerebral circulation, detecting aneurysms, arterial narrowing, and vascular malformations.

2. Creatinine Blood Test: Expect an on-site blood drawing if you do not have recent kidney function test results (Creatinine within 3 months). 

3. Safety & Screening: Change into comfortable clothing and remove all metal objects, accessories, dental retainers, and electronic devices before entering the MRI suite. An IV line (22G) will be placed for contrast injection.

4. Scan: Lie comfortably on the MRI table with your head in a specialized coil. Ear protection is provided.

5. Time & Duration: Scan room time is 30 to 40 minutes, with total appointment time taking 1 to 1.5 hours including on-site report consultation.

Good to Know

• Report Delivery: Your complete English report will be ready in 7–10 business days.

• Contrast Requirements: Uses intravenous Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agent (GBCA). Drink plenty of fluids after the scan to help your kidneys excrete the dye.

• Renal Safety Thresholds: Contrast injection cannot be performed if severe kidney impairment is present eGFR < 30 or Creatinine > 1.5). Patients on hemodialysis should schedule their scan prior to a dialysis session.

2. Creatinine Blood Test: Expect an on-site blood drawing if you do not have recent kidney function test results (Creatinine within 3 months). 

3. Scan: Lie flat on the CT table with continuous ECG monitoring and an 18-gauge IV catheter. Nitroglycerin may be administered to dilate coronary vessels. Hold your breath as non-ionic contrast dye is injected to capture rapid images.

4. Time & Duration: Scan room time is 30 minutes, with total appointment time taking 1.5 hours (90 minutes) including on-site report explanation.

Good to Know

• Report Delivery: Your complete English report will be ready in 7–10 business days.

• Contrast Requirements: Requires an intravenous non-ionic contrast injection. Please drink plenty of water after the scan to help your body excrete the dye.

• Medication Notice (Metformin): Patients taking Metformin for diabetes must stop taking it 24 hours before and 24 hours after the scan.

• Important Contraindications: This scan cannot be performed if you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Please inform us prior to booking if you have severe arrhythmias, kidney impairment, severe asthma (bring your rescue inhaler), a history of contrast allergies, severe hyperthyroidism, metal heart valves, or thoracic spine pins (T5–T11).
