often they will find other medical conditions that you didn't know (or want) to know about. For instance, I find out that I have Hep C, disc degeneration in my neck and spinal cord among other things. Plus until recently all of my MRI's required additional exams because of "regions of interest". Remember that scans are only a small piece of the total information and by themselves are rarely definitive.
