any MRI in your google map will do. But for the cancer… try big one like Sanno hospital or something.
I took 6-7MRI at Sanno Hospital in Akaska due to a severe CSF leak. However, it’s difficult to make an appointment(takes around 1 month).
I got an MRI+MRA as an optional extra during my yearly health check (called a brain-dock) a couple of years ago and it cost about 5man. If you message me Monday, I can try to find the name of the place. I think it was called ‘medical scanning’ in akasaka. They were nice. I did everything in japanese but I think they can do a bit of english
Edit: forgot some context
Edit2: for further context, I had severe almost-daily headaches and some other fine motor control issues. It ended up my scans were clean and there were a few other factors, but I’m still 1000% glad I did it and ruled out brain issues.
Try a bigger hospital imo, maybe a university hospital. Mine provides ear protection (kind of like big headphones) and this doesn’t seem to be so common in general. Makes it almost pleasant.
Both I and my spouse have had cancer screenings and full-body MRIs after positive biopsy results. My spouse had/is having the diagnosis, operation, ongoing treatment, and scans at a large, university-affiliated hospital we happen to live near. I got a reference for a scan at a chain called [メディカルスキャニング](https://www.medicalscanning.net/), but I went to a regular clinic first for a preliminary check and the biopsy. The scanning was not as much as what u/tiredofsametab quotes, but who knows why that may have been.
