Intercostal nerve tumour

Chest

Tumours can develop along the intercostal nerves running between the ribs. They are often noncancerous schwannomas or neurofibromas. An MRI may show a soft tissue mass along an intercostal nerve consistent with a tumour. Finding an intercostal nerve tumour early allows for monitoring and surgical removal if it grows or causes symptoms.

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.
