A member asked:
Whats the best full body scan available to get if you're worried about cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worry and scans: Besides unwanted radiation exposure, full body scanning is likely to result in "incidental findings " ( variations from normal that are of questionable clinical significance) that lead to further testing and create more worries.
