Abstract
Even though whole-body CT scanning is being marketed directly to patients and they are starting to demand it, does it meet the standards of a good screening test for cancer and coronary artery disease? This article is a step-by-step, disease-specific discussion of the characteristics of a good screening test, and whether whole-body CT scanning meets these standards.
