Modern preventive and longevity medicine is no longer limited to waiting for symptoms to appear. Advances in diagnostic technology now allow for earlier insight into potential health risks, often before disease becomes clinically apparent.
At Aesura Health, Galleri® multi-cancer early detection testing and Prenuvo® full-body MRI are offered as independent diagnostic options, each selected based on a patient’s medical history, risk profile, and physician guidance. Some patients may benefit from Galleri® testing, Prenuvo® imaging, or both as part of a personalized preventive care strategy.
Understanding Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Testing
Galleri® is a blood-based test designed to detect signals associated with multiple types of cancer from a single blood draw. Using advanced genomic analysis of cell-free DNA, the test can identify patterns that may suggest the presence of a cancer signal and often indicate where in the body that signal may have originated.
Galleri® testing is intended to complement, not replace, standard cancer screenings such as mammography, colonoscopy, or Pap smears. It may be appropriate for individuals seeking additional insight beyond routine screening based on age, family history, or personal risk factors.
What Is Prenuvo® Full-Body MRI?
Prenuvo® is a non-invasive, radiation-free full-body MRI designed to visualize organs, soft tissues, and structures throughout the body. It provides detailed anatomical imaging that may help identify structural findings across multiple organ systems in a single exam.
Prenuvo® imaging may be selected independently or alongside other diagnostics, depending on clinical context and physician recommendation.
A Physician-Led, Individualized Approach
At Aesura Health, advanced diagnostics are offered within a physician-guided model of care. Test selection is based on a thoughtful review of medical history, laboratory data, prior imaging, and individual health goals. Results are interpreted in context to help guide appropriate follow-up, monitoring, or specialist referral when indicated.
This approach ensures that testing is purposeful, personalized, and aligned with long-term health planning, rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Insurance & Access Considerations
Galleri® testing and Prenuvo® MRI are typically self-pay, as they are considered advanced preventive diagnostics and are not yet part of standard insurance-covered screening guidelines. Our team discusses suitability and cost transparently during consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Testing
Who should consider taking the Galleri® test?
The Galleri test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as individuals aged 50 or older. The test is prescription-only. It is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, 21 years old or younger, or undergoing active cancer treatment.
Is the Galleri® test approved by the FDA?
No, the Galler®i test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is available as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) performed in a clinical laboratory certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA).
What does it mean if my result says “Cancer Signal Detected”?
If the test indicates “Cancer Signal Detected,” it means a cancer signal has been identified. The test can predict the organ or tissue type associated with that signal to help guide subsequent testing. However, a “Cancer Signal Detected” result is not a diagnosis of cancer. A diagnostic evaluation directed by a physician is necessary to confirm the presence of cancerous cells..
Can the Galleri® test find every type of cancer?
No, the Galler®i test does not detect all cancers. It is possible that the test will not detect cancer even if cancer is present in the body.
How can I get the Galleri® test?
The Galleri® test is available by prescription only, so it must be ordered by a healthcare provider. You can request the test through your own doctor or online through an independent telemedicine provider that works with the test’s manufacturer.
Frequently Asked Questions About Prenuvo® MRI
Is the scan covered by health insurance?
Generally, no. Because Prenuvo® scans are considered “elective” or “preventative screening” rather than diagnostic tests ordered for a specific symptom, most insurance providers do not cover the cost.
How Long Does the Prenuvo® MRI Appointment Take?
The duration of the appointment is dependent on the part of the body for which you’re undergoing the MRI. A torso scan will require approximately 20 minutes. An MRI of the head and torso will take approximately 45 minutes. A whole body scan requires approximately 60 minutes within the treatment room. You are typically advised to arrive about 30 minutes early for intake.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Standard preparation usually involves fasting for 4 hours before your appointment to ensure clear images of the abdominal organs (like the gallbladder and stomach). You will also be asked to remove all metal objects, jewelry, and clothing with zippers or metal fibers, and change into provided scrubs.
Who is not eligible for a Prenuvo® scan?
You may not be able to get a scan if you have certain metallic implants, such as pacemakers or defibrillators or cochlear implants. Always disclose all implants and devices during the booking process to ensure safety.
How often should I undergo the Prenuvo® MRI?
For general preventative maintenance, Prenuvo® typically suggests a baseline scan followed by check-ups every 1 to 2 years. However, this frequency can depend on your personal health history, age, and risk factors.
