What is this test? MRI Whole Body Tumor Screening is a comprehensive imaging exam that captures detailed, high-resolution images of the entire body using magnetic resonance technology. Unlike traditional scans that focus on specific areas, this test provides a full-body assessment designed to detect the presence of tumors, metastatic disease, or other abnormal growths across multiple organ systems. This advanced technique uses no ionizing radiation, making it a safer alternative for patients requiring extensive surveillance or cancer screening. What is it used for? * Early detection of primary tumors anywhere in the body before symptoms arise * Identifying metastases (spread of cancer) from known malignancies to bones, soft tissues, lymph nodes, or organs * Monitoring cancer patients for recurrence or progression * Assessing extent of systemic diseases affecting multiple tissues and organs * Detecting benign and malignant tumors in organs such as liver, kidneys, lungs, bones, and soft tissues * Guiding further diagnostic tests or biopsies based on abnormal findings Who should get this test? * Individuals at high risk for cancer due to family history, genetic predisposition, or previous cancer diagnosis * Patients currently undergoing cancer treatment to monitor response or detect new lesions * People with unexplained symptoms that may indicate systemic cancer or tumor spread * Those requiring regular surveillance for cancer recurrence or metastatic disease * Patients contraindicated for other imaging modalities that use radiation (e.g., CT scans) Preparation Required: * Standard MRI preparation including removal of all metal objects and accessories * Fasting may be required, particularly if contrast agents are planned or abdominal imaging is involved * Inform MRI staff about implants, devices, allergies, or pregnancy * Discuss claustrophobia or anxiety; sedation options available if needed How is the procedure performed? You will lie comfortably on the MRI table, which slowly moves through the scanner as it acquires images of your entire body in sequential sections. The procedure typically takes between 90 and 120 minutes, during which you must remain still to ensure clear images. The MRI machine uses strong magnets and radiofrequency waves to produce detailed cross-sectional images of tissues, organs, and bones. Some protocols may include contrast agents injected intravenously to improve tumor visualization. Risks & Safety: * MRI is non-invasive and uses no ionizing radiation, making it safer than CT or X-rays * Contrast agents, if used, have a low risk of allergic reactions and require kidney function assessment * Possible discomfort from lying still in the confined MRI space; sedation can be arranged if necessary * Not suitable for patients with certain metallic implants or devices Results: A radiologist specialized in oncologic imaging will thoroughly review the images and provide a detailed report identifying any tumors, suspicious lesions, or abnormal tissue changes. The report helps guide oncologists or other specialists in diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up care. Short Statement: A state-of-the-art, full-body MRI scan that screens your entire body for tumors, metastases, and other abnormalities — all without radiation exposure.
