Bryan Johnson is building a full-body MRI protocol to image every organ for safety and efficacy tracking. The team recently imaged the thymus, an organ that's hard to visualize and crucial for aging research, by developing a custom protocol and finding a specialized technician.
On the full body mri, we are trying to image every organ of the body. So we do a full body MRI as like a basic, but then we're also doing each organ. And so, for example, we found that we just completed the thymus for the first time. And so getting a high quality image of the thymus to age it, to work on rejuvenation was very hard. We had to write our own protocol, we had to find a specific mri, we had to get the proper technician to do it. So this whole body mri, getting every organ, attempting to do every organ has been enormous amount of work. I'm not sure anyone's ever done it before.
