Not familiar with other healthcare but single payer here in Canada, the CT scan(for example) will not happen if there’s no negative bloodwork pregnancy test or if they are certain you don’t have a uterus. All child bearing women are all pregnant unless bloodwork says no or your uterus was surgically removed.
To be fair: It does make sense. A pregnancy test is rather cheap and simple to do. Abdominal CTs are linked to an elevated risk of cancer for an unborn child.
So to put it differently: If you could heal a child from their cancer by taking a blood test, wouldn’t you?
