What experience has anyone had with a full body scan. I just turned 50 and they are all about do a colonoscopy and I thought the full body scan might be better. No it is not covered by insurance. Has anyone had it done and did you find it beneficial.

The problem with the full body scan is it will find things that then have to be investigated. Most of these things are benign. But, everyone has something.

Do the colonoscopy and the endoscopy at the same time. The full body scan is unnecessary.

The problem with virtual colonoscopies is that if they see anything of interest you will have to have a regular colonoscopy to see what it is.
