At @JAMA_current today, 2 radiologists publish what should be the consent form for a total body MRI in healthy people
Note: "no major medical society recommends whole-body MRI screening in the general population because it is unproven, and the harms likely outweigh the benefits."

Our recent @IGIBD1 study (VE2TO-UC) evaluated tofacitinib versus vedolizumab as 2-line therapy for #ulcerativecolitis after anti-TNFs. Rock-solid evidence is already available, right?!? 🤔 What did we find? authors.elsevier.com/c/1l2nH… Thread below! 🧵👇
