100,000 Prenuvo Scans Signal a Historic Milestone in Proactive Healthcare

December 17, 2024

At Prenuvo, every scan is a declaration of empowerment—a step toward putting health back into your hands. Today, we proudly mark a monumental milestone: 100,000 MRI scans completed. Each scan is a testament to the power of proactive healthcare, transforming lives through early detection and prevention. This milestone isn’t just a number—it’s a leap toward a future where everyone can take charge of their health and where late-stage diagnoses are left behind.

“We have been building Prenuvo to challenge the belief that healthcare should be scary. Instead, it should inspire hope and empowerment," said Andrew Lacy, CEO of Prenuvo. "Reaching 100,000 scans is more than a milestone — it’s a testament to the growing movement of proactive healthcare. We’re celebrating this achievement as a step toward a future where more people can take control of their health, and we’re looking forward to the transformative milestones still ahead.”  

Marking the Impact of 100,000 Scans

Since our founding in 2018, our mission has been simple: empower individuals with the information they need to take control of their health. Our journey to 100,000 scans has saved numerous lives through early detection, provided peace of mind to thousands, and pioneered innovation in preventive healthcare.

Since our founding, nearly half (49%) of patients find something worth keeping an eye on, while the remaining half have findings that are informational and not clinically actionable. 75% of patients showed signs of spinal degeneration, whether in the neck, lower back, or both (Note: not all cases lead to pain or symptoms of "tech neck" or low back pain)

Every scan represents a story of proactive health: a firefighter addressing the occupational toll on their body, a physiologist finding answers to long-standing concerns, or a parent taking proactive steps to secure their family’s future.

This milestone is a reflection of a unique value proposition that we believe is the best path toward a world where fear of disease is replaced by empowering knowledge, control, and peace of mind. This rests on a unique combination of pillars that no one else can claim in the field of whole body screening: 

  • A patient experience that is quality-controlled end-to-end
  • A technology stack optimizing hardware and software for diagnostic-quality whole body imaging 
  • A world-class medical and research practice

An Unparalleled Medical Group by Design
At Prenuvo, our Medical Group is more than a team—it’s a pioneering force redefining what’s possible in preventive healthcare. As the largest private radiology group in the world focused exclusively on whole body MRI, our team now boasts over 80 board-certified radiologists, each bringing unparalleled expertise to advance early detection and proactive health management.

In the past year, we’ve strategically expanded our medical leadership with key appointments: Dr. Daniel Durand as Chief Medical Officer and President of Prenuvo Medical Group; Dr. Tyler Vachon as Vice President of Quality, Safety, and Informatics; Dr. Sean London as Vice President of U.S. Radiology Practice; Dr. Vikash Modi as Senior Medical Director of Preventive Medicine; Dr. Yosef Chodakiewitz as Medical Director of Clinical Research; Sarah Colson, NP, as Director of Advanced Practice Providers; and Dr. Giuliana Zaccardelli, MD, MBA, as Chief of Staff. These leaders are driving initiatives that bridge radiology with primary care and key specialties, further integrating our scans into the broader continuum of care and ensuring we remain at the forefront of medical innovation. 

Our commitment doesn’t stop at detection. With a patient-first approach, our radiologists are uniquely positioned to empower individuals with clarity and actionable insights, helping them navigate their health journeys with confidence. This model is a testament to the transformative power of radiology and our vision to make healthcare smarter, earlier, and more connected.

Pushing Boundaries of Medical Research

With this unique approach to our clinical service, we have also built up the world’s largest dataset of whole body normative imaging. Our structured approach to data enables our AI research and development team to open up a whole new world of applications that shed unique insights into the human aging process like never before. This work is first reflected in 35+ papers and abstracts presented at prestigious medical conferences such as the American Academy of Neurology, the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, and the Radiological Society of North America. Our paper, "Visceral and Subcutaneous Abdominal Fat Predict Brain Volume Loss at Midlife in 10,001 Individuals," rose to become the most-read article in the past two years when it was published by the Journal of Aging and Disease. While our research on MRI-Based Prediction of Total and Regional Brain Volume Loss in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Independent of the Visceral Fat Distribution” was presented at the prestigious Radiology Conference & Annual Meeting (RSNA).

This R&D work will also help develop new AI applications that will improve diagnostic accuracy, and expand our understanding of silent health conditions. The insights we uncover are not just changing individual lives—they are reshaping the future of preventive healthcare.

A Future of Health and Possibility

Reaching 100,000 scans is more than a milestone—it’s a turning point. Each scan expands our knowledge, fuels innovation, and brings us closer to a world where health is within everyone’s grasp. Our vision is bold: a future where fear of disease is replaced with clarity, where we understand how to age with vitality, and where a diagnosis becomes less daunting because it means early action and effective care.

We’re excited to continue this journey, expand our reach and deepen our impact. With each new scan, we move closer to a future defined by proactive healthcare—a future where individuals and families can live longer, healthier lives.

Join Us on This Journey

Prenuvo’s success is a testament to the trust our patients place in us, the expertise and dedication of our radiologists, and our shared belief that prevention is the cornerstone of a healthier future. This milestone is not just a marker of what we’ve accomplished—it’s a reminder of why we do this work. With immense gratitude, we move forward, more committed than ever to expanding access to proactive healthcare and transforming lives, one scan at a time. Together, we’re building a future where everyone has the tools to take control of their health.
