Whole-body MRI? Several thousand dollars just for the scan. The radiologist's interpretation typically costs as much. We haven't even begun to talk about resultant interventions. Eat less and exercise more is a lot cheaper and more effective.


Where I work, about $700 US. It's not a great test, despite excellent radiologists and brand new equipment as whole body imaging is far lower resolution than localized imaging (its about 1500 pixels by 250 in resolution versus 512x512 when just your knee is done using an educated guess).
