> 93 million CT examinations were carried out in 2023
So the average person gets a CT scan every three years? Over 20 in their lifetime? That is crazy - the risk of a CT scan is pretty well understood, so why do we use it like candy?
European countries do far fewer CT scans, with better health outcomes, although the numbers are rising, too.

I usually make a jokes about "Death by compliance", about the number of useless "complicance documents" my company makes me sign every few months. 100% for CYA reasons and no real value.
My guess is this is the same. They order tests just to leave a paper trail that you were actually tested, so you can't sue them for not testing you.
This is literal Death by compliance.
