Rib tumour

Chest

Tumours can develop in the ribs from primary bone tumours or secondary spread from other cancers. They may cause localised pain or be found unexpectedly. An MRI may show changes in rib bone and surrounding soft tissue consistent with a tumour. Finding a rib tumour early allows for investigation and treatment that may help prevent structural damage or spread. MRI is well-suited for evaluating rib and chest wall lesions, providing detail on soft tissue extension and bone marrow involvement.

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.
