As my doctor told me, we do not have medical tricorders like they do on Star Trek. Devices that could quickly and safely scan your whole body and give you a diagnosis. The closest things we have today are MRI or CT scans, but those kinds of scans are not usually done unless there is a problem suspected and require a doctor to read and interpret. They’re not generally available to the public without a doctor’s orders because they have been very expensive, require trained doctors to read the results, and carry their own risks such as radiation for CT’s and chemical toxicity if chemical contrast is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But maybe things are changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prenuvo is starting to offer MRI scans to the general public<\/a> that can detect more then 500 conditions<\/a> such as congenital defects that might go unnoticed and early stages of cancer. Despite being fairly new, it’s already started saving lives – especially for people in stage 1 cancer<\/a> when there may be absolutely no symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly important for me because I had not one, but two independent stage 1 cancers. The worse part, just like Julianne Santarosa in the article<\/a>, I had no symptoms. My first cancer was found via a routine exam; and during the investigation for the first cancer I got a MRI scan that revealed the second. I had surgery very quickly for both and it appears we successfully caught it before it spread. I’m now in a 5 year monitoring period, but the early detection definitely and massively improved my odds of survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now Prenuvo is open in a few major cities<\/a>, but has expansion plans to many other cities. Personally, I plan on making use of them if I make it through my 5 year monitoring phase for my current cancer recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They offer different plans which includes a torso scan for $1799 and a full body scan for $2499. For the price of a holiday trip, I think it’s an absolutely worthwhile diagnostic tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y combiner is also pushing for more CT scan startups such Neko<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
