S
creening and early diagnosis of tumor has an important role in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with cancer.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has the highest sensitivity of current imaging modalities. MRI is an emerging modality
of choice for whole body screening to detect disease in its early stages while effective treatment is still possible. MRI is also used
wolrdwide as a surveillance imaging technique to identify cancer in individuals who are at increased risk of disease. Costs of
MR imaging modality is an important consideration and the society bears the burden of costs of the procedure. This is however
less of an issue if the individual is paying for it independently.
