You... irradiate the shit out of your body every 24 months? Are you nuts? At that frequency you're doubling or trippling your typical radiation dose.
Have you read at all about the risks of overdiagnosis and exploratory surgery on benign tumours?
I do not. I mistakenly wrote CT scan when what I meant to write is MRI.
These are low dose CT scans. Their utility, however, isnt yet supported by any evidence. For most cases you'll want to be either symptomatic or at least a high risk population like a former smoker.
