What is the "Whole-Body Ultrasound" assessment?
It is a proprietary, head-to-toe assessment evaluating over 60 structures (organs, glands, and vessels). It is designed for early detection in asymptomatic individuals or those with family histories of disease.
Can this scan find cancer?

Ultrasound is highly effective at detecting solid tumors, cysts, and masses in major organs at early stages. While it is a powerful tool for proactive health, it is intended to complement, not replace, traditional screenings like colonoscopies or mammograms.

How does this compare to a Prenuvo MRI?
Both are radiation-free. While MRI excels at imaging the brain and spine, Ultrasound is superior for “dynamic” imaging (viewing blood flow and heart valves in real-time). Echo2Go is also more affordable and offers the convenience of a mobile service that comes to your door.
Is it covered by insurance?
It can be. If ordered by a doctor, your ultrasound can be covered by your insurance plan. It can also be claimed in your tax filing as a health expense. Consult your insurer or accountant.
