TrueScan and Prenuvo exist because the standard approach to healthcare – waiting until you're sick to get treatment – just isn't good enough anymore.
Both offer high-resolution, full-body MRI scans that are designed for early detection.
But maybe you're stuck on one question:
What's the difference between TrueScan and Prenuvo?
Let's break it down.
1. Scan quality: Both are excellent
We'll say it upfront: Prenuvo has a very comprehensive full-body MRI.
So do we.
Both of us offer high-resolution, radiation-free full-body MRIs. It's why people trust TrueScan and Prenuvo with their health.
TrueScan does include some sequences that Prenuvo does not. For example: carotid artery imaging to assess stroke risk – something Prenuvo's standard scan does not include.
You can see the full list of what we scan for here. Spoiler: it's a lot.
2. Pricing: We're more affordable
Let's talk numbers:
| Scan Type | TrueScan | Prenuvo |
|---|---|---|
| Full Body | $1,995 | $2,499 |
| Head & Torso | $1,695 | $1,799 |
| Torso Only | $995 | $999 |
TrueScan's full body MRI is priced $500 less than Prenuvo. You could do a lot with that!
3. Post-scan consultation
After your scan, you'll have a 1-on-1 video consultation with a physician on our medical team. At Prenuvo, you meet with a nurse practitioner.
Full body MRIs are complex – they involve every major system in the body from head-to-ankle. Connecting the dots between findings takes decades of clinical experience.
At TrueScan, you'll speak with either:
Dr. Janice Summers, MD
TrueScan Medical Director
Double board-certified in family medicine with 30+ years of experience (trained in functional medicine too). View Dr. Summers' physician profile here.
Dr. Robert Lazzara, MD
TrueScan Consultation Physician
Cardiothoracic surgeon with 30+ years of experience (fun fact: he performed the first live-streamed open-heart surgery on the internet back in 1998). View Dr. Lazzara's physician profile here.
Our physicians have seen thousands of cases in every scenario you can imagine – ERs, ORs, ICU floors, and primary care clinics.
We ensure you walk away from your scan feeling confident about what to do next.
4. Radiology: Both solid – but ours are local
Both TrueScan and Prenuvo have board-certified radiologists that read your scans.
At TrueScan, our radiologists are based locally in Tampa Bay – not across the country. That means your results are reviewed by physicians on our team who interact daily with our care team and referral network. It's a more connected, collaborative approach.
Our radiology team is led by Dr. Glenn Call, a board-certified neuroradiologist with 30+ years of experience interpreting complex cases. He's held senior clinical roles at major institutions like Orlando Health Bayfront and the Bay Pines VA System.
So while both companies have experienced radiologists, TrueScan comes with the added benefit of being deeply rooted in your local care ecosystem.
5. Specialist referrals: We don't leave you hanging
Say your scan finds something concerning – an aneurysm, a suspicious mass, or a spinal issue.
At TrueScan, we don't hand you a PDF and wish you luck.
We've built a referral network of trusted local specialists across Tampa Bay – neurologists, orthopedists, functional medicine doctors, you name it.
If you need follow-up, our medical team will work with you to make sure you get into the right hands.
Prenuvo doesn't do this.
We believe it's one of our most important differentiators.
6. Report turnaround
TrueScan: Results in 48 hours.
Prenuvo: Results delivered within 7 days (90% of the time).
Bonus: We also mail you a CD with your images so you can easily share them with your doctor.
7. We're local (and you can actually meet us)
We're based right here in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Our doctors, technologists, and care coordinators all live and work in the Tampa Bay area. You could probably meet one of them at a farmer's market.
Prenuvo is based in California. I guess we both love sunny weather…
8. Patient experience: Boutique > corporate
We're a small, physician-led company – which means we obsess over your experience.
From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly people who care.
Have a question? Call us. Gregg, our patient care coordinator, will answer.
Even better: walk into our clinic and say hi. We're at 5015 4th St N, St. Petersburg, FL.
