How we priced it
A panel counts once however many of its tests the package lists. A test for one sex only is counted only for that sex. Tests we could not price are left out, so this is not what a US checkup would cost. Prices marked "rough" come from a single reseller or are extrapolated from a similar test.

About 0.4 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 1 month of natural background radiation (about 3 mSv a year, US average).
This package also lists 11 items we have not matched to a test; if any of them is an X-ray, CT or PET scan, the total is higher.
- Chest X-ray · about 0.1 mSv
- Mammography · about 0.28 mSv
Typical doses from published references (RadiologyInfo.org ↗, Mettler et al. 2008 ↗); the actual dose depends on the scanner and protocol. Ask the center for its own figure.

General preparation notes for 10 tests in this package
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator: the test passes a weak electric current through the body and has traditionally not been recommended with these devices.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested, so the test is often done in the morning.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Usually needs at least 8 hours without food or drink except water beforehand.
Mention when booking: If you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting, and mention it to the center.
Usually needs a clean-catch (midstream) sample; some tests instead ask you to collect all urine passed over 24 hours.
Mention when booking: Ask which specific urine test your provider ordered, since collection instructions vary by test.
Usually needs no fasting; you remove jewelry, metal objects and sometimes clothing above the waist for a hospital gown.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.
For a transabdominal scan, drinking water beforehand to fill the bladder is common; for a transvaginal scan, an empty bladder is usual instead.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which type of scan you expect, and mention if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Guidelines on eating and drinking vary by center. Contrast is usually injected through an IV. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Mention when booking: Mention breast implants, a pacemaker or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, kidney disease or dialysis, a contrast allergy, or claustrophobia.
Afterwards: If you take a sedative for claustrophobia or anxiety, you'll need someone to take you home; arrange this before the scan.
Usually asks that you skip deodorant, powder or lotion on the underarms and breasts, since these can look like calcium spots on the image. Bring prior mammograms from elsewhere if you have them.
Mention when booking: Mention breast implants, any breast symptoms, prior breast surgery, hormone use, or the possibility of pregnancy.
Afterwards: You may be asked to wait until the radiologist confirms the images are complete; ask when to expect results.
Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
