Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

I can appreciate your concern. A full body scan includes the chest, abdomen and pelvis. It is generally from the chin to the groin. It doesn't often include the brain (head) as well.

So, it is what you have had done previously. I wouldn't read too much into it at this point in time. Scans are often done in a similar way, and look at the same body areas, so that it is easier to compare them literally side to side if that makes sense.

Try not to worry if you can. Talk to your team if this is concerning you.

I hope this helps,

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind Regards,
Vanda
