These are low dose CT scans. Their utility, however, isnt yet supported by any evidence. For most cases you'll want to be either symptomatic or at least a high risk population like a former smoker.

    Fairynough. Although the OP actually gets MRIs.

    Generally it seems, from what I've read, full body scans in otherwise healthy people are of marginal benefit and generally result in rich people placing unnecessary burden on the medical system checking out trivial things.
