Our Total Healthcare center provides a variety of health screening programs to help you understand your body and be prepared for a healthier life.
We provide an optimized program for each individual based on the assessment from our professionals and on your interest. All clients go through a consultation prior to the health screening to customize their examination program. Consultation can also take place (over the phone or on-line)before your visit to Korea in order to guide you through choosing your program.
During the examinations, a translator will be next to you for those who are uncomfortable speaking in languages other than your own. After the examination, clients can be directly referred to Kangbuk Samsung Hospital for an in-depth medical consultation or for more diagnostic tests, depending on the results of the health check up. For those leaving immediately after checkup, we will provide translated documents(including copy of your study images)to ensure your continued healthcare in your own country.
Appointments are made prior to visit.
For those who are unable to visit our center due to schedule, results can be delivered to you via registered mail. Approximately 21 days are required for you to receive your results.
For those who are unable to visit our center or receive registered mails due to frequent traveling, results can be delivered via E-mail in secured forms.

CT | ||
PET-CT | PET-CT is an innovative medical imaging device. PET-CT was invented under the notion that uptake of glucose increase in malignant tissues. A PET-CT scan uses very small amount of glucose to make images from within the body. The highly sensitive PET scan detects the metabolic signal of actively growing cancer cells over the whole body, and provides a detailed picture of the internal anatomy that reveals the location, size, and shape of abnormal cancerous growths. | 1,300,000 1,430,000 (including brain) |
Brain | Assesses brain tumors and other brain diseases. CT scanning combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. | 230,000 |
Colon | Evaluates the entire colon for polyps, colitis, and early sign of cancer. | 260,000 |
Chest | Assesses for early detecting of lung cancer. | 200,000 |
Coronary artery MDCT | In coronary artery MDCT, heart vessels (coronary artery) are observed with 3-dimensional image, by which coronary artery disease can be early diagnosed based on the information for cardiac blood volume, wall thickness and coronary artery narrowing. | 260,000 |
Low dose chest MDCT | Assesses for early detecting of lung cancer. A MDCT scan uses a special type of x-ray to obtain information from different angles around the body. Computers process the information and create cross-sectional images that appear as “slices” of the body and organ. | 200,000 |
Brain CT | Assesses brain tumors and other brain diseases. CT scanning combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. | 230,000 |
MRI | ||
Whole Body MRI | A single image from head to toe which is useful when locating bone structures and clinical stages or various tumors such as multiple myeloma. | 1,400,000 |
Brain MRI | MRI is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize internal structures of the body especially useful in imaging brain tissues, blood vessels in detail by using computer reconstruction. Brain tumors, stroke, hemorrhage, etc. is diagnosed in this test. | 720,000 |
Brain MRA | Without using contrast, this test uses the feature of blood flow. The patient can find out the stenosis, vascular malformations through blood vessel screening. | 390,000 For both(MRI&MRA) 1,040,000 |
Shoulder Joint MRI (Only one side : Right or Left) |
This test is the most accurate and specific examination to diagnose tendinitis, myofascial pain syndrome, shoulder impingement syndrome, rotator cuff syndrome and ligaments of the internal shoulder, and tendon. | 720,000 |
Knee Joint MRI (Only one side : Right or Left) |
This test is the most accurate and specific examination to diagnose cartilage damage, ligament damage, arthritis and to check ligament, tendon and other conditions of the knee. | 720,000 |
Lumbar MRI | Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of the spine. MRI can find changes from the normal in the spine and in other tissues. It also can locate problems such as infection or a tumor | 720,000 |
Cervical MRI | CT scanning combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. Using CT, the bony structure of the spinal vertebrae is clearly and accurately shown by CT scanning, as are the intervertebral disks and, to some degree, the spinal cord. It is useful to detect spinal column damage and various types of tumor in the vertebral column and degenerative spinal disease. | 720,000 |
Ultrasonography | ||
Echocardiography | The reflected wave of the high-frequency ultrasound wave from heart is imaged for the detection of functional and morphologic abnormality in heart (diagnosing the functional and congenital heart disease) | 210,000 |
Pelvic Ultrasonography | Pelvic ultrasonography is the ultrasound-aided test for women’s uterus, ovary and fallopian tube, etc. Changes in endometrium can be observed and ovarian cyst, ovarian cancer or uterine myoma, which is often found in middle-aged women, can be diagnosed. Since the test is performed by intravaginal insertion of a sonicator, it cannot be carried out during your period. Pelvic ultrasonography can be performed 3-4 days after the last day of your period. *If Unmarried, consulting with doctor is necessary prior to this testing. | 160,000 |
Thyroid | Thyroid sonogram evaluates the size and shape of thyroid gland and may detect nodule, cyst, calcification and cancer of thyroid. | 160,000 |

Prostate | Prostate Ultrasonography evaluates the size of prostate, prostatitis, prostate benign lesion and malignant lesion (prostate cancer). | 170,000 |
Carotid Artery Ultrasonography | Carotid Ultrasonography is to find whether artery is narrowed down and to detect weak blood flow. For whom has hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking is a helpful test to predict the level of stroke risk. | 250,000 |
Thyroid Ultrasonography | Thyroid sonogram evaluates the size and shape of thyroid gland and may detect nodule, cyst, calcification and cancer of thyroid. | 160,000 |
Breast Ultrasonography | Ultrasound imaging can be helpful to detect where there is palpated lump, cyst, benign or malignant tumor (breast cancer). In the case of dense breast in breast imaging, breast ultrasonography can helpful to find out the lesion. | 210,000 |
Prostate Ultrasonography | Prostate Ultrasonography evaluates the size of prostate, prostatitis, prostate benign lesion and malignant lesion (prostate cancer). Since the test is performed by anal insertion of an ultrasound probe into the rectum through anus, the procedure may make you feel uncomfortable. | 170,000 |
Endoscopy | ||
Colonoscopy | Sigmoidscopy visualize only 1/3 of intestines, but Colonoscopy allows your doctor to directly visualize the state of your whole colorectum. If some diseases such as polyp, inflammation or cancer are detected, treatment (biopsy) can be performed immediately during colonoscopy. | 130,000 |
Sigmoidoscopy | An endoscope is inserted up to the descending colon through anus to detect the diseases of rectosigmoid area such as colon polyp, cancer and inflammation. | 60,000 |
Tran cranial Doppler (TCD) | ||
Tran Cranial Doppler (TCD) is a test that measures the speed of blood flow through the cerebral blood vessels, using ultrasonic wave. It is useful to detect the obstruction or narrowing of the cerebral arteries. | 240,000 | |
Bone Density Test | ||
Lumbar and Femoral | Osteoporosis is a disease of bones that lead to increased risk of wrist and hip fractures because bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced. The purpose of this test is to find osteoporosis even at an early stage. | 130,000 |
