Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome

Whole Body Systems

Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome is a genetic condition that increases the risk of kidney tumours, lung cysts, and skin changes. An MRI may show changes in the kidneys and chest consistent with this syndrome. Finding changes associated with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome early allows for monitoring and treatment of kidney tumours that may help prevent them from becoming advanced. MRI is well-suited for monitoring renal lesions in Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome as a radiation-free alternative to CT surveillance.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
