Episode 621: Whole-Body MRI for Cancer Screening: Many findings, little benefit

In episode 621, Tina, James and Mike K talk about the evidence around whole-body MRIs. We discuss how many abnormalities are found, how many cancers are actually found, and finally the lost opportunity costs. You need to know these numbers to talk to your patients about the value or lack thereof of doing this test.
