We went through this with Oprah in 2007. She did a show about her CT scan and how wonderful it was.

Here's what the New York Times had to say about it the following year: https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/business/29scan.html

The bottom line is these tests aren't some sort of one-size-fits-all panacea, and nor can they perfectly predict the future. In fact Oprah herself backtracked on it, via an article by Dr. Oz in her magazine in 2011: https://www.oprah.com/health/are-x-rays-and-ct-scans-safe-ra...

A good rule of thumb is don't take medical advice from Oprah or Dr. Oz. But in the case of the latter article, he wasn't wrong.
