Right, micromotives. But what's best for me, personally, may be different than what is best for a whole population.

Medicine is individualized. If you have certain risk factors you may benefit from a particular screening tests or even prophylactic treatment and procedures. These should be evidence based too, however. Same when you're having symptoms.

The topic at hand is, as stated up-thread, "full body MRI scans for healthy people."
