But if you read the narrative on the page, the survival benefit has numerous unanswered questions.
I'm not saying there is no benefit.
But I do see VP's point. If the NNT is 219 and a LDCT costs $325 (Google) that is $71k to prevent 1 death.

You'd imagine you could spend $71k on 219 homeless people and probably save more than 1 life...
...and that's before you add any harms...
...I'm very on the fence on this! I'm no VP fan. I'm not against LDCT. I think homeless people should be able to access healthcare including LDCT if that's SoC

AI/ML Advances in LDCT Reconstruction: A Review
In the rapidly evolving field of medical imaging, the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques brings transformative potential, particularly in the domain of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). The research conducted by Chauhan, Malik, and Vig has meticulously examined the ways in which these technologies can enhance LDCT reconstruction, an area pivotal for reducing radiation exposure while maintaining image quality for diagnostic purposes.
