Are full-body scans worth the money? Doctors share what you should know
Fox News
Celebrities have sung the praises of full-body MRI scans, but is the peace of mind really worth the hefty price tag? Doctors weigh the risks and benefits.
"I have to say, I'm certainly intrigued by the technology and I'm in love with the concept of catching diseases earlier so that we can have more success with treatment," Dr. Mike said during the podcast. "In many cases, the earliest signs of diseases — like cancers, infections or aneurysms — will be seen." "If you do a full-body scan, you will be inclined to pursue every positive finding, whether they are really significant or not." "We don't know if we are saving more people by catching disease early or harming more people with overdiagnosis, false positives and overtreatment." Melissa Rudy is senior health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to melissa.rudy@fox.com.
"However, I am still not sold that this is what the Prenuvo scan has proven to deliver. In the day and age where we find ourselves, folks want more out of healthcare than we can yet deliver."
