you should ask your healthcare provider how much a full-body MRI scan is :-) (that's if they even let you get to the point of finding out costs, because requesting an MRI pre-symptom is seen as crazy- because our current healthcare system is crazy)
-
I’m sure it’s expensive. Luckily for me I’m a veteran and my health care is free, I also have access to my medical records and reports online. I do take your point though.
-
Catching some horrible diseases early on would actually SAVE a lot of money though, since early intervention usually costs much much less than extensive hospitalization for further progressed diseases.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screening_(medicine) … The 'Analysis' section explains why people are often taken in by unproven screening programmes.
-
That sections simply states that screening is imperfect. ALL screening methods, for instance weighing patients, lack perfect precision.
-
Screening can cause harm too. Picking something up sooner isn't always life saving

(I did a full body mri just last year, and even the MRI operators thought I was crazy for doing it despite being healthy — they never had someone healthy do it before)

Did u learn something new that u didnt know before?
-
I learned two surprises. One that led me to a major lifestyle change and the other to a “oh, that explains a lot” moment.

Is this the F@H Vijay Pande? If so, I'm behind this.

I think so, that’s at least what
@vijaypande told me :) -
Well then, that settles it.

If prevention is the goal, a whole body MRI (which no physician I know can interpret), is inherently inferior to a proper 5th grade education. In terms of prevention, buying a young adulthood of healthy choices may win. Folks at my county hospital suffer from choices long past.
-
beg to disagree. A MRI can catch a lot of really nasty stuff early on whilst still treatable.

Wow. Is there a service that does the interpretation of MRI result for layman like me?
