you literally just said the scan has no value. THe point of a scan like this is to have absurdly low false negative and positive rates so that it's actionable. Unactionable medical diagnostics are worthless and just cost (money, fuel, time).

There are more costs, like others have described it might lead to unnecessary biopty that has real risks.
