About Cent
Cent is India's most comprehensive early detection platform designed to identify serious health risks before symptoms appear. We combine advanced imaging (MRI, ultra low-dose CT, DEXA), deep biomarker analysis (100+ blood and urine markers), and AI-driven synthesis into one integrated protocol built around the primary drivers of mortality - cancer, cardiac, neurological, and metabolic disease.
Cent's CCNM™ based protocol is designed to detect 300+ serious conditions across four major categories:
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
- Neurological disorders
- Metabolic dysfunction
These account for over 80% of preventable mortality. We assess risk structurally (imaging) and biochemically (biomarkers), enabling early detection.
We offer two modules:
- Cent Scan: A comprehensive early detection protocol.
- Cent Scan + Genetics Module: Also includes DNA-based risk analysis for inherited predispositions.
Both include doctor review and consultation.
Traditional checkups are often reactive and limited to basic lab panels. Cent differs by:
- Using multimodal imaging (MRI, CT, DEXA)
- Screening 100+ biomarkers
- Providing organ-level risk scores
- Synthesising all data via AI
- Delivering a structured, integrated report
We are risk-led, not package-led.
Cent makes advanced preventive health simple, accurate, and reliable. The entire process is divided into six simple steps:
- Book your scan.
- At-home blood & urine collection.
- Imaging (MRI, CT, DEXA) completed in ~2 hours.
- AI synthesis + medical review.
- Doctor consultation.
- Retest annually to track change.
Cent combines:
- Advanced imaging infrastructure
- Proprietary CCNM™ protocol
- AI-led data synthesis
- Specialist radiologists and physicians
- Structured reporting framework
Our protocol is built around evidence-backed risk drivers and validated clinical modalities.
We're present in six cities: Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Pune.
Scan scheduling
You can reschedule your appointment by calling any of our health representatives via the number on our website. We recommend informing us at least 24–48 hours in advance.
Imaging takes approximately 2 hours. Blood collection happens separately at home.
Reports are typically shared within 48–72 hours after imaging.
Understand early detection
Cent Scan includes full-body MRI and relevant biomarkers to detect early abnormalities and suspicious lesions. While no screening guarantees 100% detection, early-stage cancers can often be identified before symptoms through an MRI-first approach.
Yes. We include CT calcium scoring, ECG, and cardiovascular biomarkers to assess coronary artery disease risk before a cardiac event occurs.
Brain MRI and neurological markers help detect aneurysms, white matter changes, structural abnormalities, and early degeneration.
Yes. We evaluate glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, lipid profile, liver fat, and other metabolic markers.
Yes. MRI is completely radiation-free and safe, even for frequent scans. It is one of the best tools to detect soft tissue abnormalities like tumors, inflammation, and early neurological changes.
CT Calcium Scoring measures the amount of calcium buildup in your heart arteries a key indicator of hidden coronary artery disease. Even if your cholesterol is normal, a high calcium score means you may be at higher risk of heart attack and should act early.
Most chronic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, cancer) develop silently over years. A comprehensive, multi-modal approach increases the chance of picking up problems early. Cent's philosophy: Detect it before it becomes a crisis.
Get to know the scan
No. DEXA measures bone density and body composition. It is useful for assessing osteoporosis risk, muscle mass, and metabolic health in all adults.
The CT used is ultra low-dose and focused on calcium scoring. Radiation exposure is minimal and within medically acceptable screening limits.
Certified radiologists review all imaging. AI assists in synthesis but does not replace medical oversight.
It analyses clinically relevant DNA variants associated with cancer, cardiac, neurological, and metabolic conditions.
Yes. DNA does not change. It is performed once and integrated into future assessments.
