For what?
They are so specific it would take 10 or more, with and without contrast, to check for all possibilities.
In June, i had 2, (with & without, so 4 scans) and it took 2 hours plus. And, they knew exactly what they were looking for.
They would spend 12 hours doing scans without any intent? Without knowing what they were trying to find?
Sorry, but that just doesn't make sense.
And, if they did a whole body MRI panel, the WH had no reason to lie about "preventative". They would have just said the checked everything an MRI can check. But, they didn't.
Finally, checking just one part of the body by MRI without reason to suspect that function is a problem is just a wild medical guess. Again, that makes no sense
