Cost of body scan

Hi All. Can You briefly describe what kind of body scans you could do in Ireland and what would be the price of those including full body scan? I can't find it anywhere at all. Any help would be appreciated.

There are a number of different imaging modalities which give you views of the whole body including CT, MRI, PET. Each of these is useful for imaging different aspects of the body, MRI gives great soft tissue resolution while PET images function rather than structure.

In general you can't get any of these scans without a medical indication, CT and PET, for example, involve exposure to ionising radiation which must be medically justified.
