There _IS_ a body scan that's gaining in popularity -- it's a full-body CT scan. With contrast solution, it's as effective as an MRI of your body. The downside? The exposure to full-body radiation increases your cancer risk, and the high cost --about $1,000 -- isn't worth it for most of us.
BUT -- for someone anxious about their health, it could be a nice tool.
