Pleural mesothelioma

Chest

Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs strongly linked to past asbestos exposure. It can develop decades after exposure and may cause no obvious symptoms initially. An MRI may show thickening or changes in the pleural lining consistent with mesothelioma. Finding pleural mesothelioma early may expand the treatment options available before the disease becomes advanced. MRI is useful for assessing chest wall and diaphragmatic invasion in pleural mesothelioma, complementing CT in staging assessment.

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.
