This was discussed In April, 2022, by member “rivasp12”. He had the scan preformed

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 I’m okay…

#5

It’s probably very unlikely to be cancer right?
Keep us posted.

Is it outside the throat or “inside” (can it be Globus pharyngis?)

#6

Outside the throat… Weird things really really happen to me/around me

It’s very unlikely, but I still just want to just be sure…

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 I’m okay)… The accident has definitely affected my ability to think…

It’s 1.5 Tesla MRI, IDK if worth it

I think Kim K. is starting to follow Bryan Johnson down the longevity biohacking path…

Yes of course it doesn’t sound good to have a lump outside the throat, it could be cancer, but it doesn’t have to be. Important to check.

Was it a concussion, if I remember you mention it somewhere? You don’t 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. It’s going to be proof that we’re living in a simulation if they get together.

It would be interesting from a ‘belt and braces’ 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. I’m thinking about it. $$

In my view and opinion

If a person takes any advice or comment from “Kim Kardashian” you have something wrong.

So … I’ve got a number of patients who are doing yearly MRI’s - I’ve had them join my practice with many of them just doing it yearly as a routine. I’m generally positively disposed toward it … but like @KarlT the issue is, ignoring the incidentaloma’s and not getting hurt by over investigating.
So my wife and I have decided to do this upcoming in less than a month. We’ve chosen SimonOne as they have a brain/neck MRI/MRA and torso (Chest/Abd/Pelvis) with focused prostate or uterine/ovarian protocols … takes 40 minutes, is a 3T scanner, so high resolution. Cost $1250.
It isn’t 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 … not bad, or just a body, no head/neck for I think $650.

Hello Dr. Fraser, Does SimonOne’s 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 … 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
