Whole-body MRI scans are booming. Doctors say most people should skip them

  • Elective whole-body MRI screenings, marketed by companies like Prenuvo and pushed by influencers, promise to catch disease before symptoms appear.
  • They cost $1,500 to $4,000, are rarely covered by insurance, and most major medical groups advise against them for healthy people.
  • About 1 in 5 scans turns up something that needs follow-up, and most of it turns out to be nothing.
