Aimera
Aimera provides whole-body MRI screening calibrated to the ONCO-RADS protocol, imaging patients head-to-ankle in a single appointment to detect early-stage cancers, aneurysms, and spinal conditions before symptoms appear. The service includes radiologist-trained reads, with an option for a same-day in-person consult where the radiologist reviews images with the patient. A quantified brain MRI (qMRI) protocol is planned for 2027.

Problem
Many serious conditions, including early-stage cancers, aneurysms, and spinal abnormalities, develop silently over years, often before any symptoms are noticeable. Standard medical imaging is typically reactive, ordered only after symptoms or risk factors emerge, which can delay early detection and limit opportunities for preventive intervention.
Solution
Aimera offers a preventive whole-body MRI screening service that images patients from head to ankle in a single appointment, using a machine calibrated to the ONCO-RADS protocol—the international standard for whole-body MRI screening. Scans are read by radiologists specifically trained by Dr. Raj Attariwala, a co-author of the ONCO-RADS standard, ensuring consistent and reliable interpretation. The service provides a full written report within 3–5 business days, and the Signature package includes a same-day 30-minute in-person consultation with the reading radiologist, allowing for a two-way dialogue where patient context can inform the diagnostic read. Aimera also encourages patients to share prior imaging so the radiologist can compare changes over time, and the company is developing a world-exclusive quantified brain MRI (qMRI) protocol, expected in 2027, that measures brain structures, blood flow, and tissue composition.
Target Audience
Primary customers are proactive, health-conscious individuals seeking a comprehensive, preventive health screening to detect potential issues before symptoms appear, as well as those who want a deeper clinical context for their imaging results.
