The package also includes a cardiovascular risk assessment.

Results and explanation
You receive your results straight after the exam. The doctor explains them and suggests next steps if needed.
What a preventive check-up does not replace
- A preventive check-up is not screening for all diseases: ultrasound shows only the areas included in the package and cannot detect every change.
- A normal result does not rule out every disease, and it does not replace regular visits to your doctor or the national screening programmes (Svit, Zora, DORA).
- A preventive check-up does not replace an examination when you have symptoms. If you have symptoms, talk to a doctor; for sudden or severe symptoms, call emergency medical services (112).
- If the examination shows a change, the doctor may suggest further tests or follow-up care.
