A purpose-built MRI and preventative-screening clinic in Johor Bahru, founded on a simple discipline: scan thoroughly, read carefully, explain everything in plain language — including what we do not find.
AEVUM exists because preventative full-body MRI screening — an effective and well-validated clinical tool when used correctly — has been packaged and sold poorly by most of the global market. Some clinics overpromise, some quietly omit findings, some leave the patient with a one-page summary slip and no one to call.
We have built our practice on the opposite discipline: thorough scans, double-read by named consultant radiologists, explained to you in person for a full sixty minutes, with an honest accounting of what we found, what is benign, what merits a follow-up, and what we cannot conclude from imaging alone.
"A scan is a starting point. The conversation that follows is what determines whether it was useful."
— founding operating principle, AEVUM, 2026The clinic is regulated under Malaysia's Private Healthcare Facilities Act (Act 586). Every magnet and the CT scanner are registered with the Medical Device Authority. We are pursuing voluntary MSQH accreditation — Malaysia's equivalent of JCI — from year one.
Whole-brain MRI including cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and ventricles. Looks for masses, vascular abnormalities, white-matter changes, and structural asymmetries.
Cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, lymph node basins, thyroid, and major neck vessels. Catches degenerative spine disease and lymphadenopathy.
Lungs, mediastinum, heart, and great vessels. MRI is excellent for cardiac structure; we add a low-dose CT for lungs in the Platinum tier where MRI is weaker.
Liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, bladder, prostate (men), uterus and ovaries (women). The highest-yield region for incidental findings.
Thoracic and lumbar spine, hips and knees. Identifies disc disease, joint degeneration, and structural abnormalities — common findings, often manageable conservatively.
Every guest leaves with a written report — printed and bound on archival paper, returned in a clinic-stamped folder, signed by the reading consultants. The structure follows a strict protocol: clinical context, methodology, findings (region by region), interpretation, and explicit recommendation.
Where a finding is benign, we say so and explain why. Where a follow-up is warranted, we name the specialty, the recommended interval, and our preferred referral partners at Columbia Asia, Mount Elizabeth Novena, or Gleneagles Singapore.

Whole-body MRI performed on Siemens MAGNETOM Vida (3.0T). T1- and T2-weighted sequences, axial / sagittal / coronal planes. Gadolinium contrast not administered (asymptomatic screening protocol).
Brain: Normal cerebral volume for age. No mass, no acute infarct. Minimal age-related white matter signal change (Fazekas 1) — normal for age band.
Cervical spine: Mild C5/C6 disc desiccation, no neural foraminal compromise. Common, non-actionable.
Liver: Two simple cysts (≤ 8mm), benign. No further imaging needed.
Other regions: Unremarkable.
Anatomically reassuring scan for a 47-year-old male. Findings noted are benign and do not require follow-up imaging. Recommend re-scan in 12 months for longitudinal baseline.
We claim that a Siemens 3.0T MRI, read by named consultant radiologists, can identify a meaningful number of structural abnormalities — including some early-stage cancers, vascular abnormalities, and degenerative conditions — that may otherwise go undetected for years.
We claim that a 60-minute in-person consultation, conducted by the radiologist who read your scan, is materially better than a printed PDF — particularly for managing the ~32% of asymptomatic scans that surface a benign incidental finding.
Hegenscheid et al., Radiology, 2013 · Lee et al., Radiology, 2024We do not claim that a full-body MRI will detect every cancer, every disease, or every potential health issue. Lung adenocarcinoma, for example, is poorly visualised on MRI — we add a low-dose CT for the Platinum tier specifically for this reason.
We do not claim that AEVUM extends life or guarantees outcomes. The published evidence on whole-body MRI as an asymptomatic screening tool remains debated — see the box on the right.
No reasonable provider should claim either of these.The American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR, Sept 2025) explicitly advise against routine asymptomatic whole-body MRI screening, citing high false-positive rates and unproven life-extension benefit.
We disagree, partially. We agree the marketing of WB-MRI by US disruptors has been irresponsible. We believe that, when scans are read by named consultants and incidental findings are managed with structured follow-up, the harm calculus changes.
Read the ACR / CAR statements via the Research Panel.Purpose-built medical suite, 5,000 sq ft, three RF-shielded magnet rooms, on-site emergency capability per Act 586 §38(1). Adjacent to Columbia Asia Hospital — our preferred referral partner for any onward sub-specialist care.
Private Ambulatory Care Centre licence, issued by MOH/CKAPS.
All magnets & CT registered under Medical Device Act 2012 via FDA/CE reliance.
Full on-site resuscitative readiness. Mandated, always staffed.
Comprehensive cover via international panel underwriter.
Voluntary international standard. In active application — expected H2 2026.
The clinical concierge will respond within one working day, on the channel of your choosing. We will confirm clinical suitability, walk you through the tier options, and answer any questions before any appointment is booked.
If we believe AEVUM is not the right fit for your situation, we will say so and refer you appropriately.
