Thousands of people have paid $2,500 for full-body MRI scans from Prenuvo, whose technology can detect more than 500 conditions.
The scans take about an hour and are reviewed by one of Prenuvo's licensed radiologists.
"When you're catching stage one cancer, what you're doing will save lives," said Prenuvo CEO Andrew Lacy


Curious and concerned patients like Santarosa are flooding Prenuvo's nine clinics in the U.S. and Canada. There's so much demand that the 5-year-old Silicon Valley-based company has announced 11 more locations opening by 2024, including one in London and another in Sydney.

加拿大有。癌症病人术后检查复发时有做的，但不是你好好的人付钱就能做。

美国盛行多年，10几年前才$1000美金，广告说可以送给家人当礼物。。。

FDA和医生们不建议用这个来早期诊断癌症，特别是没有任何症状的健康人。。。

风险：false positive，无故地接受辐射

圈哥还是有一定科技能力。
CT 和 X-Ray 才有辐射。

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates that the extra risk of any one person developing a fatal cancer from a typical CT procedure is about 1 in 2,000. MRIs do not use ionizing radiation, so there is no issue of raising cancer risk. But they take much longer to complete than CTs.

MRI is a very safe procedure. As noted above, MRI does not use x-rays. In theory, you could undergo many MRI examinations without any cumulative effects.

It's Your Health - Whole Body Screening using MRI or CT Technology [Health Canada, 2003] - Canada.ca

2003 article from Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. Some private clinics are now offering healthy people a service called whole body screening. For a fee, they will use sophisticated medical technology to scan your body for anything abnormal.

www.canada.ca

政府的结论：If you are healthy and have no symptoms of illness, there is no reason to put yourself at risk by having MRI or CT whole body screening.

If you have symptoms of illness, consult your health care professional to determine whether you need any specific diagnostic tests.

如果身体里有钉子，MRI也得小心。

没症状做这些，基本就是花钱找烦恼：

没查出来什么，觉得花了冤枉钱。。。

查出“可疑”病灶，心情受影响，还要引出一些列的检查，公费估计够呛（家庭医生不大可能会以此为证据），只能自费，自费在加拿大也不行，只能去美国，中国，印度。。。
