Current obstacles

Insurance coverageInsurers do not cover preventive MRI for asymptomatic patients. Members self-pay, limiting the market to high-income individuals.
Incidental findings and follow-upWhole-body MRI detects benign findings (cysts, nodules). Managing patient anxiety and avoiding unnecessary testing is challenging.
Scaling radiologist workforcePrenuvo requires board-certified radiologists to interpret every scan. Scaling from 17 centers globally requires recruiting radiologists in each new market.

Physics limits

MRI sensitivity varies by tissue and diseaseMRI is excellent for soft tissue but poor at bone abnormalities. Early lung cancers are better seen on CT. The protocol balances coverage and scan time.
Patient population must be MRI-safeSome patients cannot undergo MRI due to metallic implants, pacemakers or claustrophobia. Prenuvo cannot screen 5–10% of the population.
Preventive value not yet provenNo randomized trial shows whole-body MRI screening extends life or improves outcomes compared to standard screening. Medical value remains unproven.

How it works

4 parts

Patient Preparation

MRI safety screening

Patients complete MRI safety screening to ensure no metal implants, pacemakers or foreign bodies that could be unsafe in a strong magnetic field.

MRI Scanning

Whole-body 3D imaging

The patient lies in the scanner. Multiple sequences acquire 3D images of the brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis and musculoskeleton.

AI Processing

Automated quantitative analysis

Proprietary AI algorithms segment and measure organs, fat depots, muscle and tissues. The system generates body composition and organ volume measurements.

Radiologist Review

Human interpretation and report

A radiologist reviews the MRI images and AI findings and writes a report with findings, risk scores and follow-up recommendations.
