Arguments against proactive MRI scanning always seem to have a whiff of status quo bias to them. Yes, right now MRIs are expensive and false positives are common, but if regular scans were widespread, it's likely this result in innovations that would drive down costs, improve accuracy, as well as producing a much larger corpus of data with which to guide diagnosis and reduce false positives.
To use a software analogy, if your downtime detection system kept producing false negatives, would your solution to be just turn it off? You'd get some better night's sleep, but you'd pay for it when the system really went down and you had no idea.
