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.
