To make sure different hospitals and researchers can compare MRI scans properly, they all need to use the same checklist—like ONCO-RADS—so their data matches up and can be combined for bigger studies.

Letter to the Editor: Clarifying interpretation of cancer detection utility from whole-body MRI

Editorial/Opinion

The study shows that different research teams report WB-MRI results in different ways, making it hard to compare results or trust the numbers. This means we need a standard way to report findings—like ONCO-RADS—to make sure everyone’s data can be safely combined and trusted.

Using a full-body MRI scan to check for cancer and other serious health problems might help doctors find them more accurately, based on how often it correctly identifies or rules out disease.

Using a full-body MRI scan to check for hidden health problems has been linked to finding cancers and other serious conditions in real patients, and doctors use special scoring systems to decide who needs more tests.

When healthy adults get a full-body MRI scan, those flagged with higher ONCO-RADS scores (4 or 5) are much more likely to actually have cancer—about 4 in 10 for score 4 and 3 in 4 for score 5.
