Thoracic duct abnormality

Chest

The thoracic duct is the main lymphatic vessel of the body, running through the chest. Abnormalities including widening or blockage can cause lymphatic fluid to leak into surrounding spaces. An MRI may show changes in the thoracic duct region consistent with an abnormality. Finding a thoracic duct abnormality early allows for investigation into its cause and treatment that may help prevent significant lymphatic complications.

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.
