Thoracic outlet syndrome

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Musculoskeletal & Spine

Thoracic outlet syndrome happens when blood vessels or nerves in the narrow space between the collarbone and first rib become compressed. It can cause pain, numbness, and vascular symptoms in the arm and shoulder. An MRI may show changes in this area consistent with compression. Identifying thoracic outlet compression early may allow for treatment before permanent nerve or vascular damage occurs.

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.
