Ackerman Cancer Center is proud to offer Total Body MRI screening services at our Jacksonville (Mandarin) location. As leaders in advanced cancer care, we continue to expand our diagnostic capabilities to provide patients with the most comprehensive and proactive health evaluations available. 

What is a Total Body MRI scan?

Total Body MRI is a noninvasive imaging scan that examines the entire body, head to torso, in one session. Using advanced technology from our Philips MRI machine, this scan provides a detailed view of internal organs and tissues, helping detect potential abnormalities at an early stage. It supports early cancer detection, prevention, and overall health monitoring.

During your Total Body MRI scan, you will lie comfortably on a table that slides into the MRI machine headfirst, allowing us to capture detailed images from your head through your torso. A secure imaging coil will be placed around key areas—such as your head, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis—to minimize movement and ensure precise, high-quality results. 

The scan typically takes about 60 minutes, depending on your specific imaging needs. You may hear rhythmic tapping or knocking sounds during the procedure as the MRI magnets capture images. For your comfort, we provide ear protection and a selection of music to listen to throughout your scan. 

You will be able to communicate with the MRI technologist at any time through an intercom system, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported from start to finish. 

Ackerman Cancer Center specializes exclusively in cancer care, combining advanced imaging and treatment expertise for a fully integrated approach. Our oncology team provides precise results and compassionate, personalized guidance in a supportive environment. 

If your scan reveals an abnormality, our specialists can evaluate the next steps and begin care immediately—providing peace of mind and continuity throughout your health journey. 

Call (904) 747-9368 or contact us to schedule your Total Body MRI and take the next step toward proactive, whole-body wellness.

If you have an implanted medical device—such as a pacemaker or metal implant—please inform our team during scheduling and have your device card ready. This helps us confirm eligibility and ensure your safety before your appointment. 

No referral is required.

Before your Total Body MRI, please remove all jewelry, watches, and metal objects, as these can interfere with the magnetic field. You’ll be provided with a robe to change into before the scan.

If you feel anxious about your MRI, speak with your healthcare provider about medication options to help you relax. Our experienced imaging team will guide you through the process and ensure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

Unfortunately, Insurance does not cover the cost of a Total Body MRI. Most insurance plans classify these scans as elective or preventive, rather than medically necessary, meaning they are not typically included in standard coverage. 
Insurance companies generally only cover diagnostic MRIs ordered by a physician to evaluate a known condition. 

After your consultation with our Nurse Practitioner, payment in full is due before your scan. We accept credit cards, debit cards, and cash at our office.

Please note that appointments canceled within 24 hours of your scheduled scan will incur a $100 cancellation fee.

You may not be eligible for a Total Body MRI if you have certain implanted devices such as a pacemaker, spinal cord stimulator, or metal fragments in your body. Please share your device card during scheduling so our team can verify safety. 

This scan may also not be suitable if you experience severe claustrophobia, have difficulty staying still for up to 60–90 minutes, or require targeted imaging for a specific condition. 
After your Total Body MRI, you will receive a comprehensive 10–30 page report detailing findings for each area scanned, including any abnormalities or notable observations. You’ll also receive a digital copy of your images to share with your healthcare providers. 
 
A board-certified nurse practitioner will meet with you on-site to review your results, answer any questions, and discuss recommended next steps. This personalized consultation ensures you fully understand your report and feel supported in planning future care. 

You will meet with a board-certified nurse practitioner on-site 1-2 weeks post-scan to review your results and discuss recommendations. During this visit, you’ll receive your 10–30 page written report and digital images for your records.

This streamlined process helps you understand your results quickly and supports timely follow-up care—without the typical delays of traditional imaging centers.
