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.

- Low-dose chest CT · about 1.5 mSv
Plus X-ray (region not specified), whose dose depends on the exam.
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 6 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 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 asks for no smoking for 24 hours, no heavy meals for at least 2 hours, and no alcohol for at least 4 hours beforehand; wear loose clothing.
Mention when booking: Mention a recent heart attack, stroke or surgery, a chest infection, heart problems or uncontrolled blood pressure; ask whether to bring or hold your usual inhaler.
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 no fasting and no contrast injection; loose clothing with no metal is easiest.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually asks that you skip calcium supplements for 24 hours beforehand. Avoid clothing with metal zippers or buttons, and remove jewelry.
Mention when booking: Mention any recent barium exam or CT/nuclear-medicine contrast, and whether pregnancy is possible.
