The post-scan clinical pathway
After the scan: what actually happens next
The CVI Peak Prevention Program is built around the 30 days that follow your scan — subspecialty interpretation, a physician-ready structured report, and concierge continuity for anything that needs follow-up. The scan itself is the easy part.
Day 0
Scan day
Your MRI (and CT/DEXA if indicated for your tier) is acquired with an AI-assisted preventive protocol built for executive schedules — typically 30–60 minutes on the table.
Day 0–2
Subspecialty read
Your scan is interpreted in-house by one of three named CVI radiologists, all ACR board-certified and fellowship-trained in their subspecialties. Reserve tier adds a dual-specialist read (Neuroradiology + MSK).
By 48 hours
Structured report
You receive a physician-ready structured report with prioritized findings, clinical context, and suggested next steps. Priority findings are escalated ahead of the 48-hour window when indicated.
Day 2–5 (Elite / Reserve)
Physician review session
A 30-minute review with a CVI clinician to walk through findings, answer questions, and align on a next-step plan you can hand to your primary or specialist physician.
Day 0–30
Concierge continuity
We coordinate any indicated follow-up — additional imaging, specialist referral, or a second read. For Reserve, a set of follow-up imaging credits is included.
Day 30+
Handoff to your physician
All diagnosis and treatment decisions are made by your licensed physician team. Our report is built for fast handoff into their workflow.
How we handle incidental findings
Whole-body MRI frequently surfaces incidental findings. Published literature suggests incidental findings on whole-body preventive MRI occur in a meaningful minority of patients; most are clinically insignificant but may require follow-up to confirm. Our protocol is designed to triage these without cascading anxiety or cost.
- Findings are triaged by clinical relevance and urgency, not by alarm.
- Your structured report explains what the finding means, what is and is not known, and what follow-up is typically recommended.
- When a finding warrants further imaging (for example, a thyroid ultrasound for a small nodule), we coordinate that study. Additional imaging may be billed separately unless included in your tier.
- Uncertain findings are common and are flagged transparently rather than inflated. The goal is signal, not anxiety.
What this program is not
The CVI Peak Prevention Program is an elective, preventive imaging service. It is not a substitute for routine medical care, emergency care, or physician-directed diagnostic evaluation. Participation does not establish a physician-patient relationship, and no diagnosis, treatment, or prescription is provided by CVI through this program.
CVI makes no guarantee, warranty, or representation that its preventive imaging program will detect, prevent, or reduce the risk of any disease, condition, or outcome. Imaging has inherent limitations. A normal scan does not rule out disease. An abnormal scan does not establish a diagnosis. All findings require physician follow-up.
Emergencies
If you are experiencing chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe abdominal pain, or any other acute medical emergency, dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Preventive imaging is not a substitute for emergency or urgent care.
