Full MRI scan

I am considering getting one of these full health scans with MRI, blood tests and reports. Has anyone done one? How did you find it? Any providers you would recommend? I'm looking at Spire. For info I'm 67 and just wanting to check on overall health and any potential issues.

Beware incidentalomas. (Things that happen to get picked up, on tests that never should have been done, that would never have caused a problem, but end up in a spiral of investigations and anxiety). I would never have one.

I paid for a private EZRA MRI a couple of months ago and it was worth every penny. The experience itself wasn't particularly enjoyable (it feels oppressive and claustrophobic) but it was only 20 odd mins and the staff were lovely. I got a detailed and easy to read full report 3 working days later. No major concerns, and just a handful of incidentals that didn't require any follow up. I would definitely recommend it.

I do realise that there are possible side effects - the worry about it what it can show and possible interventions.
