In the summer of 2025, finance professional Shira Kupperman Boehler was with her husband, Adam, in New York City for a series of business meetings. When the couple found a stretch of free time in their schedules, Boehler’s husband made a surprising suggestion: They should each get a whole-body MRI scan.
His suggestion was inspired by a previous MRI that found he had an asymptomatic sinus blockage that could have resulted in facial bone erosion had it not been caught early. The 44-year-old Boehler was a health-conscious long-distance runner who was the picture of good health. Despite her skepticism of the suggestion, she humored her husband and underwent the MRI.
