Ventricular septal defect

Chest

A ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall between the two lower chambers of the heart. Small defects may persist into adulthood undetected. An MRI may show a defect in the wall between the lower chambers consistent with this condition. Finding a ventricular septal defect early allows for monitoring and may allow for repair before it causes significant cardiac 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.
