I think I'm not the target audience. I guess they are going to need to sign up a lot of people, to train on their scans + their medical outcomes. So the article is talking to people who will get enthused by it, which is more difficult after the question of 23AndMe data sale.



I’m a weirdo who vaguely enjoys my MRIs. I’m moderately claustrophobic, but they still don’t really bother me. And I love the warming feeling that makes me feel like I’m getting microwaved.


What warming feeling? An MRI shouldn't really make you feel warm unless they're pushing IV contrast.


My understanding was that your body was absorbing some amount of whatever electromagnetic stuff passes through you for the image. And the techs have told me it’s nothing to worry about.


MRIs are so much cooler than that. https://www.radcommons.org/residents/files/physics/MRI_Made_... is a good read.


You can definitely feel it in your body, I mean you have metals in you. I definitely feel tingling and general sense of something nearly touching my skin and insides.
