Short answer: Dragonfly offers focused and whole-body MRI screening options with different levels of anatomy, scan time, and detail.

MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency energy rather than X-rays.

Coverage varies

Options range from focused torso imaging to more extensive brain, spine, vascular, and body imaging.

Radiologist review

Your scan includes a written report and a results consultation to discuss follow-up.

Screening MRI can reveal findings that need additional evaluation.

The Dragonfly Experience

Comfort, clarity, and support at every stage

01

Before Scan

The most serious conditions often give no warning. A Dragonfly scan shows you what’s happening inside—before symptoms, before surprises. Information isn’t just helpful—it’s how you stay ahead. It’s a foundational investment. Like a dental check-up. Like a physical. Like insurance.

02

During Scan

Dragonfly MRI is a non-invasive, injection-free, radiation-free procedure. The scanner is air-conditioned and can be adjusted to your most comfortable temperature. We provide earplugs or headphones that allow you to pick your favorite show, playlist, podcast, and relax. You will be in constant contact with an MRI technologist through a two-way intercom if you need assistance.

03

After Scan

You’ll receive an exit package outlining the next steps. Your full report arrives several days later. A personal consultation with a nurse practitioner to answer questions and go over findings is included with your booking. You may share your results with your physician, or with your permission, we can forward them for you.

FAQs

Questions people ask before booking

Choosing a scan

What are the three main scan options?
The Torso Scan is the most focused option — chest, abdomen, and pelvis — often a good starting point for a faster, more affordable internal health check (no brain or spine imaging). The Head & Torso Scan adds brain imaging to the core organ scan. The Comprehensive Whole Body Scan is the most complete of the three — brain, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, dedicated lung imaging, liver analysis, body composition, and a broad radiology review. We can explain the general differences, but we can’t tell you which scan is medically right for a symptom or condition — happy to help you book or connect with the team.
What does a scan cost?
It depends on which scan you choose: Torso ($999) covers chest, abdomen, and pelvis; Head + Torso ($1,799) adds brain and neck imaging; Comprehensive Full-Body ($2499) covers brain, full spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis, plus lung screening, vascular review, organ health analysis, and body composition. Our team can walk you through current pricing and any active offers — want us to help you get started?
What does a whole-body MRI screening actually check?
It gives a broad look across major organs and systems in one visit, without radiation, to help identify things worth further attention — it’s a starting point for a conversation with your doctor, not a diagnosis. If you’re ready, we’re happy to help you get a scan on the calendar or connect you with our team.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. Dragonfly scans are elective preventive screenings, and you can schedule directly without waiting for a doctor to order the scan. Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information

Before your visit

What is an MRI and how does it work?
An MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body — organs, blood vessels, soft tissue, spine, and brain structures. Your body contains water, and water contains hydrogen atoms; MRI technology sends signals to those atoms and tracks how different tissues respond, and those responses become detailed images that radiologists review. Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information
Does Dragonfly use radiation or contrast dyes?
No. Dragonfly scans do not use ionizing radiation or intravascular contrast dyes — MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves. Because of the magnetic field, all jewelry, watches, and metallic accessories need to be removed before scanning, and people with certain implants or devices need to be reviewed by our team before booking. Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information
Is the scan process comfortable?
Yes, the scan process is designed with your comfort in mind. You’ll have the option to listen to music or watch a movie, and we provide a blanket along with an aromatherapy patch to help you relax. During your pre-scan consultation, we’ll also review medication options if you feel you may need additional support.
Do I need to fast? What can I drink that day?
Yes — Dragonfly asks patients to fast for four hours before the scan, which helps reduce motion in the stomach and intestines for clearer images. On scan day, please limit beverages to water, tea, or black coffee, and since the longest scans can take over an hour, it’s a good idea to use the restroom before your visit.

Results, privacy & payment

How long does it take to get my results?
You will receive your report within 7 business days. We do our best to release results earlier, but in rare instances, it could take slightly longer. 
Can I use FSA, HSA, or CareCredit?
Yes — Dragonfly accepts FSA, HSA, and CareCredit payments. Some plans may require you to seek reimbursement through your specific carrier, so it’s best to check with your plan. The team can help you use these options when booking — Speak to a Dragonfly specialist for more information
How secure is my personal data?
Your privacy is sacred. We will never sell your patient data. We will not share your information with anyone unless specifically authorized by you. We strictly abide by and comply with all medical legislation which regulates patient confidentiality, medical data, and personal information. 
How often should I get a scan?
Many patients choose to make Dragonfly part of an annual health routine, because the first scan creates a personal baseline that future scans can be compared against. We can’t recommend a specific interval for a medical reason — that’s a conversation for your provider — but we’re happy to help you get your first baseline scan on the calendar.
