how much do you think it would cost for a person with no insurance. what can they detect whats the benefit. anyone know any information ???
Answer:
No, not unless you have some symptoms, a potential diagnosis, or a family history of something significant that would require an MRI. Find a good doctor to take care of you and if he/she thinks you need an MRI, then get one.
What does it cost? If you search the web, you'll find the price advertised. There are full body CT scans (note: not MRI) that are around $500. CT scans expose you to some low levels of radiation, while MRI machines use magnetic fields to make their images. MRI tends to be more expensive than CT.
An MRI (or a CT) can detect a lot of things. That's really the problem. If you do a full body scan (without any symptoms), then you may be tempted to think that any finding is bound to be serious. Sometimes a slight blemish on a scan is just a poor image and less frequently, it is a lesion or a tumor.
