The whole body is scanned in approximately 40–45 minutes. Patients are not exposed to radiation in whole-body MRI scans, as is the case with other MRI scans. Although MRI has been used to date for suspected lesions, specific software has been developed that enables cross-sectional imaging of the whole body in a single session. Whole-body MRI scans start in the brain. Next, the neck, lungs, and chest wall are pictured. The procedure continues with the evaluation of the liver, pancreas, kidney, adrenal gland, and other intra-abdominal organs, as well as the urinary bladder. Prostate and testicles are scanned in men, while the uterus and ovaries are imaged in women. Moreover, bones and muscles (excluding arms) above knee level are assessed in the same session. It needs to be combined with other conventional screening tests in order not to miss signs of an early-stage disease when lung, breast, prostate, and gastrointestinal tumors are screened.
