• Full body MRIs cost around $2,500 and are being promoted as the "gold standard" for preventative health without proper medical context
• Unlike established screening tests, these scans haven't been evaluated by medical societies for appropriate use in healthy populations
• 15-30% of diagnostic images have at least one incidental finding, which can lead to unnecessary anxiety and further testing
• The marketing tactics use fear-based messaging about finding cancer early, which might be ethically concerning
• These services create healthcare disparities since they're only accessible to those with financial resources
