One body part + MySignal

You give the urine sample that day; results come on a later day. If a result shows higher risk, the physician arranges further tests to look into it.
Two body parts (same day, excluding upper abdomen)
JPY 150,000
MRI of one body part (JPY 88,000) plus a second MRI (JPY 62,000). Examples: head and male pelvis; breast and female pelvis. The physician explains both in one session.

How this differs from going to an imaging facility directly

  • • On the day of your scan, our physician goes through the images with you and explains them for 30 minutes in Japanese or English.
  • • We give you a written results summary in Japanese and English that you can show directly to a doctor in your home country.
  • • We decide the next step together: keep an eye on it, rescan at a set time, or see a specialist medical facility. If you need a specialist, we help you prepare for the visit and organise your records.
  • • We coordinate your scan booking and your explanation time with us in one go.

Common questions

How much will it cost in the end? Will it go up later?

We send you the total in writing before you apply. We do only the tests you choose. You pay the imaging part at the imaging facility on the day, and our part before your booking is confirmed, by card payment link, bank transfer or similar (you get two receipts).

How long does it take?

The scan takes about 90 minutes including changing (this varies by body part and date, so we tell you in writing before you book). Results are expected about 1 hour after the scan (we confirm before you book), followed by a 30-minute physician explanation. Allow about 3 hours from arrival to the end of the explanation. Upper abdominal results come on a later day.

What if I don't speak Japanese?

The physician explanation and results summary are available in Japanese or English.

What happens if the scan shows something that needs follow-up?

The physician goes through the images and explains what can be seen and what should be checked next. If you need tests or treatment at a specialist medical facility, we help you prepare for the visit and organise your records.

I have symptoms / I already have a diagnosis

In this case, we first arrange a consultation. The physician chooses tests to look into the cause of symptoms based on your purpose.

Metal or medical devices in my body, discomfort in enclosed spaces, or possible pregnancy

Tell us before you book. The physician checks which tests are suitable for you and lets you know.

What to know before your scan

Send us the body part you want checked and the days you can come.

We check availability and send you time options and a total quote in writing. No booking or payment happens at this stage.
