On: One whole-body MRI could replace multiple cancer scans

[_mdpn]

I work for a company that makes MRI machines. There is an industry wide push to reduce scan times. Even a 30 second or one minute reduction on scan time per protocol can translate into one or two more scans a day. Across a fleet of scanners, this can be millions of dollars a year in revenue.

There are hospitals that have switched brands of scanners over protocol times.
