Service Details:
• Offered by companies like Prenuvo at approximately $2,500 per examination
• Claims to detect up to 500 different conditions and diseases early
• Produces detailed head-to-ankle imaging including all major organs, brain, and spine
• Scans typically take about one hour to complete

Medical Perspective: Despite popularity among celebrities, the medical community expresses concerns about preventive value for asymptomatic individuals:
• False positives may lead to unnecessary anxiety and further testing
• No major medical organization recommends full body scans for healthy individuals without specific risk factors
• Questions remain about cost-effectiveness as a screening tool
