OneMRI: whole-body MRI for preventative health in Australia

OneMRI is an Australian diagnostic imaging company that provides whole-body MRI scans focused on preventative health. Its scans are performed without ionizing radiation or contrast and cover 13 organs and systems, lasting 45 to 60 minutes. The company operates through a network of partner clinics in Australia and does not require a GP referral to book.

How the process works

The service is structured in four stages. The patient books at the nearest clinic and receives guidance on preparation. They then attend the scan, which is performed at MRI facilities and is non-invasive. OneMRI radiologists review all images and a doctor explains the results in plain language, without jargon. If something relevant is detected, the patient can follow up with their GP and use the study as a reference to compare changes over time.

What the scan may reveal

The MRI examines the brain, spine and vital organs together. According to the company, it can help detect solid tumours, systemic changes such as fatty liver or haemochromatosis, non-cancerous conditions such as cysts, haematomas, haemangiomas and abscesses, autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, spinal degeneration and brain aneurysms. Early detection is presented as a way to facilitate timely treatment and monitor progression.

Who it is for

OneMRI describes several groups of interest: health-curious people who want an internal baseline, proactive individuals who prefer to anticipate symptoms, longevity-focused people who already monitor other parameters, those with a family history looking for a baseline to work from with their doctor, and those seeking greater certainty after previous inconclusive tests. The company notes that it reads scans with the patient's family history in mind.

Price and what the service includes

The site indicated a price of AUD 2,990 for the whole-body MRI, which includes a full radiology report, a 15-minute follow-up consultation and digital access to the images. The company also offers gift vouchers and partnership programs with imaging clinics, healthcare professionals and wellness companies.

Clinical team and founders

OneMRI was founded by Gopi Sara, Dr Vu Tran and Andrew Barnes. The clinical team includes Dr Don Van Ngo (MBBS, FRANZCR) as Chief Radiologist, Dr Vu Tran (MBBS, FRACGP) as Chief Medical Officer and Anthony Barbaro (BSC, MMRT) as Chief Radiographer. The company emphasizes that every scan is reviewed by radiologists and explained by doctors.

Coverage and locations

The company operates in Australia through partner clinics and lists locations in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Wollongong, Newcastle, Townsville and Tasmania. Its stated goal is to expand access to whole-body imaging in the country and, subsequently, in the Asia-Pacific region.
