It does depend a bit what the next step is; you can MRI as the 1st step, and that at least is harmless.

- burnt-resistor 1y agoMRI machines need to be a) democratized so they're cheaper and everywhere and b) connected to trustworthy clinically-proven radiological AI to identify and watch growths. There's absolutely no rational reason any patients should end up with surprise terminal cancers or surprise coronary artery disease. (Yes, yes whole body scans exist but these are largely pseudo-medical scams that don't deliver what they promise. I'm saying deliver on it, within reason.)
- trebligdivad 1y agoIt would help if they weren't damn slow; taking up an expensive machine for an hour is not a way to be cheap!
- CamperBob2 1y agoWhy wouldn't whole-body scans satisfy your criterion in the first paragraph (for those who can afford them, anyway?)
- robertlagrant 1y ago> MRI machines need to be a) democratized so they're cheaper What does this mean?
- southernplaces7 1y agoI'd also like to know how one "democratizes" a multi-million dollar machine that's also extremely expensive to maintain.
