Check-ups
Trouble with your lungs?
This is how a body box helps
A Bodybox is a medical test used to measure lung function, specifically lung volumes and airflow through the lungs. It is often performed on people who have symptoms of lung diseases, such as asthma, COPD, or other breathing problems. The test is performed in an enclosed space, called a bodysuit or bodybox, which is equipped with sensors that measure airflow and pressure in the lungs. The patient breathes into an enclosed box, and changes in air pressure allow the total lung volume to be measured.
Why this lung test?
If you suffer from persistent shortness of breath, tightness of breath or difficulty breathing deeply, the doctor may want to get more clarity on exactly how your lungs work. In that case, a breath test in the body box may be suggested.
A body box is an enclosed cabin in which you do various breathing exercises while measurements are taken. This allows the doctor to see, among other things, how much air your lungs can hold, how easily air flows in and out, and whether there is any narrowing or disruption in the airways.
Summary: An examination in the body box gives a complete picture of your lung capacity and breathing, and is an important step in understanding your symptoms.
Other medical check-ups
A medical check-up usually consists of several components, depending on your age, gender, medical history, family burden and lifestyle. The check-up can range from basic checks to more comprehensive examinations. Here are the different types of medical check-ups:
Clinical examination is a major medical evaluation in which a doctor examines a patient's health through various physical inspections, tests and a detailed history (medical questioning). The purpose of clinical examination is to determine whether any health problems or conditions are present and to make a diagnosis.
Blood and urine tests are diagnostic tests that doctors use to find out more about a patient's health. These tests help to identify conditions, evaluate organ functioning, and detect diseases or abnormalities at an early stage.
An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It is used to assess heart function, detect arrhythmias and diagnose other heart-related problems. The ECG records the electrical signals passing through the heart, which can help identify abnormalities in the rhythm or function of the heart.
A cycling test (also called exercise test or cardiac cycling test) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate heart function during physical exercise. It is often performed to detect heart diseases, such as coronary artery disease (narrowing of the heart arteries), or to assess how well the heart functions under increased stress.
Echocardiography is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the heart. This technique uses ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) to visualise and evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Echocardiography is often used to detect heart disease, assess heart function and monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
An ultrasound of the abdomen, also known as abdominal ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the organs in the abdominal cavity. This examination is often used to assess the condition of various organs in the abdomen, such as the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and bladder.
A carotid duplex examination is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to assess blood vessels in the neck, such as the carotid artery (arteria carotis). It is a combination of ultrasound (ultrasound) and Doppler examination that allows real-time visualisation of the structure and blood flow in the carotid vessels.
Spirometry is the most common test for measuring lung function. This involves the patient breathing into a device, a spirometer, which measures the amount and rate of air blown into and out of the lungs. The key measurements are:FVC (Forced Vital Capacity)FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second)
A diopter or eye measurement determines the glasses strength needed; do not forget to bring your glasses with you. An eye pressure measurement checks that your eye pressure is normal, which helps rule out conditions such as glaucoma. Audiometry, or a hearing test, provides insight into the degree and type of hearing loss you may be experiencing.
A dermatoscan is a medical procedure used to examine and analyse the skin, especially for detecting skin cancer, such as melanoma, and other skin abnormalities. It is a non-invasive technology often used by dermatologists to monitor suspicious moles or skin changes.
Bone densitometry (also called bone densitometry or DEXA scan) is a medical test used to measure bone density to assess the risk of osteoporosis (osteoporosis). This test measures the amount of mineral substances, such as calcium, in the bone and can help determine whether bones are strong enough or weakened bones that are more susceptible to fractures.
Fat percentage measurement is a method of determining the amount of body fat in the body. This provides valuable insight into overall health and fitness. In addition, gastroscopy, performed with a flexible instrument called a gastroscope, is often used to investigate the cause of complaints such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, swallowing problems, heartburn, bleeding or unexplained weight loss.
Rectoscopy is a medical procedure in which a doctor examines the inside of the rectum and the last part of the colon (the rectum and lower rectum) using a rectoscope, a flexible or sometimes rigid instrument attached to the end of a camera. This procedure is often used to investigate problems in the lower digestive tract, such as rectal pain, blood in the stools, or changes in bowel movements.
Coloscopy is a medical examination in which the doctor inspects the entire large intestine (colon) and the last part of the small intestine (the ileum) using a colonoscope. This is a flexible, long instrument with a camera at the end that allows the doctor to take images of the inside of the bowel and detect any abnormalities.
An EEG (electroencephalography) is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the brain. It is used to examine brain function and is often used to diagnose neurological disorders. During the test, electrodes are placed on the scalp, which record the brain's electrical signals.
A Bodybox is a medical test used to measure lung function, specifically lung volumes and airflow through the lungs. It is often performed on people who have symptoms of lung diseases, such as asthma, COPD, or other breathing problems. The test is performed in an enclosed space, called a bodysuit or bodybox, which is equipped with sensors that measure airflow and pressure in the lungs. The patient breathes into an enclosed box, and changes in air pressure allow the total lung volume to be measured.
Both examinations, mammography and ultrasound of the breasts, are common imaging techniques for detecting breast conditions, including breast cancer. They are often used together to get a complete picture of breast health.
Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test used to measure the flow of urine during urination. It is a simple and non-invasive procedure that helps assess bladder and urinary tract function.
A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the prostate and surrounding tissues in the pelvis. It is a non-invasive procedure often used to assess the prostate in men, especially in relation to prostate problems such as enlarged prostate, infection or prostate cancer.
Why is a medical check-up important?
Early detection of diseases: Many health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or even cancer, do not show symptoms in the early stages. A medical check-up can detect these problems early, making them easier to treat.

Prevention of diseases
By regularly checking your health, you can adopt healthy habits that reduce the risk of serious diseases. Think healthy diet, adequate exercise and avoiding harmful habits such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption.

Peace of mind
Knowing that your health is under control gives many people peace of mind. It can help reduce stress and anxiety because you know you are addressing health risks in a timely manner.

Customized health advice
After the check-up, the doctor can give you specific advice based on your health and risk factors, such as adjusting your diet, increasing your physical activity or starting medication to manage health problems.
