The Benefits of a Full Body MRI
An MRI is not harmful for you. It doesn't pose any risk to you in the way that a CT scan does where if you have too many of those, you get too much radiation. So it's using this enormous magnet to move protons in your body. There's another series called diffusion-weighted imaging with background subtraction. That produces a T1-weighted image where there's a lump detector. The harder you look, the more you'll find things that aren't cancer.
