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 four named CVI radiologists, all ABR board-certified and fellowship-trained in their subspecialties. Reserve tier adds a dual-specialist read (Neuroradiology + MSK).
By 48 hours
Structured report to your physician
A structured report with prioritized findings and clinical context is routed to your referring physician. Priority findings are communicated to them ahead of the 48-hour window when indicated.
Day 0–30
Concierge scheduling window
If your referring physician orders follow-up imaging, our concierge desk schedules it at our facility — booking, transportation, and facility coordination. For Reserve, a set of pre-paid imaging credits is included. The decision to order any study is your physician's.
Ongoing
Your physician directs care
All diagnosis, follow-up care, and treatment decisions are made by your referring physician. 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 prioritized by clinical relevance and urgency, not by alarm.
- The structured report sent to your referring physician explains what the finding is, what is and is not known about it, and what follow-up is typically considered.
- If your physician orders further imaging (for example, a thyroid ultrasound for a small nodule), we schedule that study at our facility. 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. A referring or ordering physician of record (your primary care physician, internist, or specialist) is required for participation — all clinical decisions, follow-up care, and treatment remain with that physician. Participation does not establish a physician-patient relationship with CVI, 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.
