I've scanned about 300 people as part of my research career. The director of the imaging center reviewed every anatomical scan. From that group of 300 we informed about three people that they had an anomaly which should be examined by a doctor.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Sure, it was 1% that needed further validation but that 1% is so much cheaper and easier to treat when its caught early vs. later on when it's noticed by the patient.

MRI's becoming commonplace, even if it were every 3 years instead of annually would be a useful tool to improve health outcomes across the board.
