SinoScan48

Private health screening in China, coordinated for international clients.

This checklist is for planning only. Location, package, equipment, test items, appointment timing, preparation requirements, and report workflow must be confirmed before booking.

Before booking

  • Known screening need and preferred China hub
  • Expected China arrival and departure dates
  • Screening goal and package interest
  • Passport or required identity document details
  • Language preference for coordination
  • Any travel support needs such as hotel, pickup, or local transport

Tight-window trips (240-hour transit, short stays)

  • Confirm whether fasting or preparation will block same-day scheduling
  • Check whether imaging is same-day vs split across days
  • Confirm which report items are released on-site vs later follow-up
  • Ask how imaging files (DICOM) are handed over (CD/USB, link/portal, viewer)
  • Leave buffer time: appointment delays, file pickup, and travel back to the airport
  • Treat the checklist as planning guidance only—no visa or timing promises

Before the appointment

  • Confirm appointment time, location, and arrival instructions
  • Review fasting or preparation notes from the medical institution
  • Bring required identity documents
  • Keep enough time before flights or business meetings
  • Confirm how reports and files will be delivered

After screening

  • Collect official reports when available
  • Request imaging files where applicable
  • Organize blood testing and imaging results in one folder
  • Use the structured English summary for review with your own physician
  • Coordinate follow-up communication where available

Planning FAQs

Common questions for short-stay and transit trips

These answers are for planning only. Location, facility, package scope, and report timing must be confirmed before booking.

Can I fit an MRI/CT checkup into China’s 240-hour transit window?+

Sometimes, but it depends on your entry/exit location, appointment availability, fasting requirements, the package scope, and when each report item is released. If your stay is short, confirm timing and deliverables (official reports + imaging file handover) before booking flights or hotels.

Can I do the appointment and fly out the next day?+

Sometimes. Some items may be same-day, while others can be released later depending on the medical institution’s workflow. If you have a next-day departure, confirm which items can be collected before you leave and which may require follow-up delivery.

How do I receive imaging files (DICOM) after an MRI/CT/PET-CT in China?+

It is facility-specific. Common handover options include a CD/USB, a download link/portal, or a facility-provided viewer. If you need DICOM or raw imaging files for your physician, confirm the method, timing, and any access requirements before the appointment.

Will the official report be in English?+

Official reports are issued by licensed medical institutions and are often Chinese-first. SinoScan48 can help organize files and provide structured English support where practical, but SinoScan48 does not provide medical interpretation, diagnosis, or treatment advice.

What does SinoScan48 do vs what the medical institution does?+

SinoScan48 coordinates the plan: location confirmation, appointment planning, and file handover organization. Licensed medical institutions perform examinations and issue official reports. Medical advice, diagnosis, and treatment decisions must come from qualified physicians.
