Inviting HEALTHY* PARTICIPANTS for: Abdominal MRI & Metabolism testing

Gisselle from Auckland Central

Inviting HEALTHY* PARTICIPANTS for: Abdominal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) & Metabolism testing.
*Aged 40 and above, without personal history or family history of pancreatitis or diabetes, to compare with our patients on pancreatitis and diabetes pathways.

WHAT THIS INVOLVES:

During your visit, you will first undergo a 45min abdominal MRI scan to assess your pancreas. This will take place at CAMRI (Centre for Advanced MRI – located within the University of Auckland School of Medicine); once completed you will receive a CD with your images.


Then, we will proceed to our COSMOS Clinic for metabolism testing:
• Your glycated haemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, iron and insulin levels will be measured
• Anthropometric measurements and Osteoporosis risk will be evaluated
• You will also be required to complete a few questionnaires.

Please note: You are required to come fasting – nothing to eat/drink from midnight the night before.

The entire visit will take no more than 2 hours and we will reimburse you with a $40.00 petrol voucher for your time and participation.

All the above tests will be conducted at no charge to you and free underground carpark is provided.

If you would like to participate or obtain more information, please contact:
