About how many "parameters" do they evaluate roughly for a full body scan? And is one typically qualified to evaluate across the entire body or do they specialize in different areas of the body?

I don't know, but I've heard from doctors (many times, sometimes quite forcefully) that it's a radiologist's job to call out all abnormalities on the full image they get, and the reasoning makes sense.

I suppose a full body MRI would be very expensive and take a lot of time to read.
