The real problem is false positives. Suppose this system puts up a warning. What next? Expensive and/or invasive tests? Could be more trouble than it's worth. If it were me, I'd have to see a very high rate of accuracy before I'd trust it.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoThat's the common argument about almost every medical test. Prostate psa test could mean problems or not, and then prostate cancers have very different outcomes. If we scanned everyone we'd find lots of other anomalies that don't matter, but we'd find a few people with near term heart attack or stroke or early cancer. I'd personally take that risk.
