The FDA barely prevents people injecting themselves with snakeoil stem cell treatments...

"Baseline" CT smells like an expensive solution looking for a problem to sell to hypochondriacs. A hefty dose of ionizing radiation for no clear medical benefit gets a thumb down from me.

MRIs are nearly perfectly safe though.

Yeah, I have the same feeling about the baseline CT service and I'm sorry I wasn't more forthright about it above.
