    I get a whole body CT scan MRI every 24 months. It’s, IMHO, a wonderful preventative medicine procedure. Bullshit like what Midjourney is doing will make people doubt the benefits of actual medical grade scans. Worse, some might forgo a real scan because they “already did the dolphin golden light scan which is the same thing”.

    EDIT: I mistakenly wrote CT scan when what I meant was MRI.

      You… irradiate the shit out of your body every 24 months? Are you nuts? At that frequency you’re doubling or trippling your typical radiation dose.

      Have you read at all about the risks of overdiagnosis and exploratory surgery on benign tumours?

            …shit, your insurance covers that?

            No.

            overdiagnosis and overtreatment risks still apply

            I’m keeping an eye for specific things but the first one I had diacovered a problem l knew nothing about. A more focused exam confirmed it, so the scans have already paid off.

          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.

            Damn… An MRI is crazy.

            Sounds like a boutique service thats not available to the average person.
