About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
If a patient cannot make it to their scheduled check-up, the center asks them to notify it at least 3 days before the exam date.
The center says patients should fast for at least 10 hours before the check-up, avoiding drinks and tea, though a little plain water is allowed to wet the throat.
For the urine test, the center asks patients to collect a mid-stream urine sample.
The center says collecting a urine sample during a female patient's period may cause a false blood-positive result in the urine report, so it suggests rescheduling the urine test for another time.
The center asks patients with diabetes not to take their blood sugar medication on the day of the check-up.
The center says patients with high blood pressure may take their blood pressure medication as usual on the day, with only a small amount of plain water (about 30-50cc).
The center says other chronic-disease medications can be carried along and taken after the fasting-required test items are finished.
The center asks patients not to collect a stool sample if they have hemorrhoid bleeding or are having their period.
The center asks patients to keep the collected stool sample away from light and direct sunlight.
Ask your own doctor before changing any medicine.
The center says the health check-up report is ready 14 to 21 working days after the exam.
Patients can choose to have the report mailed to them or pick it up in person.

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.

Radiation from this package's imaging
About 23 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 7.7 years of natural background radiation (about 3 mSv a year, US average).
This package also lists 6 items we have not matched to a test; if any of them is an X-ray, CT or PET scan, the total is higher.
- PET-CT (FDG) · about 23 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 5 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.
Usually needs about 6 hours without food beforehand; clear fluids other than milk or fizzy drinks are commonly still allowed. Loose, comfortable clothing is easiest.
Mention when booking: Mention if you have type 1 diabetes, so the center can offer an early appointment time.
Usually needs little preparation; you may be asked to drink water beforehand to fill the bladder for a clearer view.
Mention when booking: Mention if holding a full bladder is uncomfortable for you; the technologist can adjust timing.
Usually needs little or no preparation; an enema and antibiotics are mainly for a planned biopsy. A scan through the lower belly instead may need a full bladder.
Mention when booking: Mention aspirin or other blood thinners; if a biopsy is planned, the center may ask about pausing them, so ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Usually needs several hours without food and only water to drink beforehand, then 30 to 60 minutes resting quietly after the tracer injection. Leave jewelry, hairpins and other metal at home.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about diabetes (ask the prescribing doctor about timing diabetes medicine), any contrast or iodine allergy, kidney disease, and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Afterwards: Drink plenty of water afterward to help clear the tracer; normal activities can usually resume right away.
Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
