That old saying, "kill two birds with one stone" (or the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals version, "feed two birds with one scone") is particularly appropriate for CT imaging these days, as clinicians explore the opportunistic use of the modality. Millions of CT scans are performed each year -- often for lung cancer screening, but also as a first-line test when a patient presents in the emergency room -- and information from these tests can shed light on other conditions.

In 2021, a radiology practice, Pacific Radiology, miscoded an ultrasound exam conducted at 41 weeks that showed low amniotic fluid – which resulted in the scan being sent "to nowhere," rather than to the mother's midwife, the Herald reported.
