There is growing interest in and concern about early detection of illnesses and learning in advance about risk factors that may affect one's future health and welfare, in a society geared increasingly towards prevention.

Some illnesses can develop slowly and sometimes without symptoms. There are also congenital problems that can take years to show up but which it is important to know about and treat as soon as possible to forestall their consequences as far as possible.

Whether or not you have an IMQ insurance policy you can request an appointment with the Check-up Unit at the IMQ Zorrotzaurre Clinic for a thorough, fast, personalised clinical assessment to learn the real state of your health and get a full report including medical recommendations.

A perfectly coordinated circuit of tests taking in various specialist fields and diagnostic services enables a full health diagnosis to be provided in just a few hours, without your having to leave the clinic. From the moment you walk through the door you are accompanied by skilled, specialist staff who can provide support at all times

We also assure maximum comfort during your time with us. Lunch at the invitation of the clinic is included, to ensure that you maintain the proper level of energy throughout the check-up

This check-up is recommended for women of all ages who wish to anticipate potential illnesses, who have a family history of illness, who are prone to specific risk factors or who suspect that they may be unwell. Women concerned about their health who believe that the best way to stay healthy is through prevention via a thorough, comprehensive diagnostic check.

The check-up is coordinated by a specialist physician who coordinated the various staff members and support services involved in providing the diagnoses required for a personal medical assessment.

Other features of our Check-up Unit include professional, friendly attention, comfort and ongoing information throughout the process.

• DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS INCLUDED:

  • Initial medical appointment:Family history, information on lifestyle habits, previous illnesses, etc. This initial assessment determines whether it is necessary to conduct other tests or consult specific specialists.
  • General blood and urine analyses: these provide information on how your organs are working. They include serology for hepatitis, HIV and tumour markers.
  • ECG: This provides a graphic readout of the electrical activity of the patient's heart, and is useful in screening for and diagnosing cardiovascular problems.
  • Spirometry: This involves a number of simple breathing tests under controlled conditions to measure absolute lung capacity and volume and gauge how quickly the lungs can be mobilised (air flow).
  • Hearing tests:Precise measurements of hearing ability are taken.
  • Echocardiogram:This is a picture of the heart in motion. Electrocardiography uses ultrasounds to provide information on the shape, size, functioning and strength of the heart, the movement and thickness of its walls and the working of its valves.
  • SAT Echo-Doppler test: This examines the carotid and vertebral arteries, which supply blood to the brain. It is useful in preventing strokes, as it can rule out atheromatous lesions and plaques, it enables a haemodynamic assessment and a study of the blood flow to the brain to be conducted.
  • Full ophthalmological examination: sight is tested, intra-ocular pressure is measured, the back of the eye is checked, etc. This is done in coordination with the ICQO (Surgical Clinical Institute for Ophthalmology).
  • Chest X-ray: This provides images of the heart, lungs, respiratory tract, blood vessels and the bones of the spine and thorax.
  • Abdominal ultrasound scan: This is used to examine the internal organs in the abdomen, such as the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys and great vessels.
  • Pelvic ultrasound scan: This can also help to identify palpable masses such as ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids, along with ovarian or uterine cancer. It is also used to detect the cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding.
  • Cardiac stress test: This shows how the heart behaves when it is subjected to physical stress. Among other things, it can determine whether part of the heart is not receiving sufficient blood (e.g. when there is coronary artery disease) or as a result of a diseased valve.
  • Specialist ENT examination, involving a specialist study that includes a fibre-optic laryngoscopy.
  • Bone densitometry: This is a test to determine the mineral density of the bones. It is used to diagnose osteoporosis.
  • Mammogram (for women aged over 40): a breast X-ray. Mammography enables doctors to detect signs of breast cancer at an early stage.
  • Final medical appointment: Once all the results are in, our medical staff will inform you in detail of your diagnosis and of any recommendations to help you improve or maintain your health. During this appointment you will be handed a full report listing all the diagnostic tests conducted and the names of the doctors who performed the tests and assessments.

• OPTIONAL FURTHER TESTS

  • Gynaecological examination: The examination takes place at the gynaecology unit, and comprises the following tests: physical examination, gynaecological ultrasound scan, cytology & mammogram (for women over 40).
  • Breast ultrasound scan (for women over 40): This enables a differential study to be conducted of any nodes or tumours detected during the clinical examination, in a mammogram or in case-control studies. Whether or not it is conducted depends on the results of the mammogram.
  • Stress ECG: This test uses ultrasound techniques to show real-time images of the heart and study how the heart behaves when it is subjected to physical stress. Among other things, it can determine whether part of the heart is not receiving sufficient blood (e.g. when there is coronary artery disease) or as a result of a diseased valve. 
  • Chest CT scan for over 40s/smokers: This provides a more in-depth examination of any anomalies detected in traditional chest X-rays, and helps to diagnose the cause of any clinical symptoms or signs of chest problems, such as coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain or fever; it also helps detect and assess the extent of tumours found in the thorax and of lung problems, among others.
  • Body CT scan: this is a diagnostic check that uses X-rays and computer-assisted image processing to examine the thorax, abdomen, pelvis and vascular system.
  • Colonoscopy with sedation: This enables a visual examination to be made of the interior of the intestine. Colonoscopy has many advantages over other ways of examining the colon (opaque enema, virtual colonoscopy, etc.), as it allows a more accurate exploration.
  • Gastroscopy with sedation: This consists of an exploration of the oesophagus, the stomach and the duodenum via an endoscope, which is an optical instrument with a video chip at the end which enables doctors to see and record images of the areas examined on a monitor screen.
  • Coronary CT scan: This method uses X-rays to create detailed images of the heart and vessels and to examine the arteries that carry blood to the heart. The examination can diagnose or detect the build-up of plaque in the coronary arteries and determine the risk of heart disease, congenital heart disease (heart problems present at birth), problems with heart valves, etc.
  • PET-CT scan: This  is a diagnostic test that provides functional images by detecting radiation from positrons (tiny particles emitted by a radioactive substance administered to the patient intravenously), showing a metabolic map of the body.
  • Cardiac MNR: Cardiac Magnetic Nuclear Resonance (MNR) shows a detailed image of the heart, including the cavities and valves, with no need for heart catheterisation.
  • Brain MNR: Brain MNR is used, among other things, to study brain tumours, cardiovascular accidents (strokes) and certain central nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis.
  • Interdepartmental consultation if necessary: Urology, Cardiology, Neurology, Dermatology, etc.
