Is it possible to have a heart scan AND a body scan all at the same time?
Is it possible to have both a full, comprehensive heart scan and a full abdominal or body scan with an MRI, instead of a CT scan, that is just as reliable, if not more so than the CT scan? I want to avoid the radiation of the CT, but want accuracy.
