The issue with full body scans is the false positives and what you will go through chasing them.

I feel a small lump on the left side of my throat, I hope Iām okayā¦
Itās probably very unlikely to be cancer right?
Keep us posted.
Is it outside the throat or āinsideā (can it be Globus pharyngis?)
Outside the throatā¦ Weird things really really happen to me/around me
Itās very unlikely, but I still just want to just be sureā¦
Incidentally, some of my friends are helping me fundraise (set up a gofundme) to help me with costs following a serious accident I recently had (just to be sure Iām okay)ā¦ The accident has definitely affected my ability to thinkā¦
Itās 1.5 Tesla MRI, IDK if worth it
I think Kim K. is starting to follow Bryan Johnson down the longevity biohacking pathā¦
Yes of course it doesnāt sound good to have a lump outside the throat, it could be cancer, but it doesnāt have to be. Important to check.
Was it a concussion, if I remember you mention it somewhere? You donāt have to share.
The brain is very plastic at your age so I am sure you will be able to get back function to think.
Bryan is single and only a couple years older than her. Itās going to be proof that weāre living in a simulation if they get together.

It would be interesting from a ābelt and bracesā perspective to run a Prenuvo full-body MRI scan with the Galleri test (or something similar) to screen out false positives

My brother just did the Galleri and came up clean. Iām thinking about it. $$

In my view and opinion
If a person takes any advice or comment from āKim Kardashianā you have something wrong.

So ā¦ Iāve got a number of patients who are doing yearly MRIās - Iāve had them join my practice with many of them just doing it yearly as a routine. Iām generally positively disposed toward it ā¦ but like @KarlT the issue is, ignoring the incidentalomaās and not getting hurt by over investigating.
So my wife and I have decided to do this upcoming in less than a month. Weāve chosen SimonOne as they have a brain/neck MRI/MRA and torso (Chest/Abd/Pelvis) with focused prostate or uterine/ovarian protocols ā¦ takes 40 minutes, is a 3T scanner, so high resolution. Cost $1250.
It isnāt cheap, but I think it is worth it. It is actually a little terrifying as something bad could be found.
Anyway for those thinking about doing this - $1250 ā¦ not bad, or just a body, no head/neck for I think $650.

Hello Dr. Fraser, Does SimonOneās chest scan include a cardiac MRI? It was not clear to me from the website information. NYC is 300 more! oh well. I hope no taxes on top. Neck should include the arteries to the brain I suppose. Please do keep us posted. Cheers
With or without contrast?

I think they are just doing basic structural on the heart and any obvious abnormality will be addressed.
I put a sample report ā¦ I really like the Neuroquant part - worth looking at on volume of each area of your brain, mapped to %tile by age. Very interesting stuff.
I think it is actually a bargain after looking through the report. No taxes should be added as is medical care, and is HSA eligible.
@KarlT The MRA head/neck is without contrast and yes looks at vessels of neck and will let you know of any strokes or ischemic areas, aneurysms, masses - but the brain mapping with volume is very interesting.

Thank you. I too may do it next time I am in the USA.

Some physics required - but actually a 3T is lower resolution as compared to 1T. 3T is higher speed and a narrower field of view so great for a knee or shoulder. 1T has a 30cm plus field of view so you can fit most of the abdominal organs on a single(albeit slower) scan and for the brain a 1T can scan down to 1mm square blocks-which is why the Prenuovo uses 1T scanners
