56. Whole-Body MRI, Revisited: What Have We Actually Learned? *CME*

Whole-body MRI promises to find disease before it finds you - but does finding more actually mean living longer or better?

Matthew Davenport, MD, MBA, FSABI, FSAR, FACR joins Maddi to revisit the evidence (or lack thereof) behind whole-body MRI screening, from cancer detection and incidental findings to over diagnosis and increased downstream costs. He also addresses the question that matters most: What evidence would actually prove that screening improves health?

Because detecting disease is one thing. Proving that detection helps patients is another.
