About examinations
Do I need to fast before my check-up?
Fasting is necessary for accurate testing, especially blood tests, upper endoscopy, MRI, PET and upper abdominal ultrasound. For morning examinations, fast from the night before; for afternoon examinations, fast from that morning. Details are in the documents we send you.
Can I add options after completing my booking?
Yes. For imaging tests, upper endoscopy or gynecological tests we will check availability in advance, as slots are limited. Blood tests have no slot limits. Please contact us by e-mail.
Can I add a PET scan to a course at Oike Clinic Ladies Plaza?
Yes. The PET facility is located at Oike Clinic, so the PET scan itself will be performed at Oike Clinic.
I would like the most comprehensive full-body exam. What do you recommend?
We recommend adding PET-CT to the Executive package. In this case, we ask you to visit the clinic over two days.
I am claustrophobic. Can I have an MRI scan?
If you have any concerns, such as claustrophobia, please do not hesitate to ask our staff for help.
Can I have an MRI with a pacemaker, ICD, or non-removable piercing?
Please let us know at the time of reservation. See the
MRI page for details.
What happens if abnormal findings are indicated?
We can refer you to a specialized or affiliated medical institution in Japan for further examination, depending on your situation. Our facility cannot provide treatment or medication, and any treatment in Japan is at your own expense.
