In the US system with malpractice lawsuits, there will be followup in most cases. US Doctors are still furious over the amount of unnecessary testing that occurred as a result of the "whole body scan at third party facility" fad from a decade or two ago.

We should focus on the core problem, instead of "this device gives patients too much data."

The core problem is there is zero evidence that a whole-body scan saves more lives than are lost due to the radiation of a whole-body scan.
