Dogs could be trained to detect by smell. They are always sticking their noses there. It’d be way nicer if you went to the dogtor. Less invasive and not painful. Plus cuteness. Pay in dog treats. lol. I’ve heard they can detect with more accuracy even by breath.
Why not train more dognostics.
You can get a second opinion with another dog and then choose a more invasive course of action after.
I am serious about this. -
Monitoring Australia’s endangered species
while logging their habitatsScent dogs are being replaced by cost-effective biomonitoring of threatened species. Technology will detection chemical signals of wildlife assemblages in the environment. " Little did we know that traces of wildlife presence float in the air and can be detected through traces of DNA."
Will the air sampling techniques operate with the pollution of heavy logging machinery to detect the scent of a koala or a glider? Will it cut through the thick smoke from (bush) fires that follow? Will traffic pollution allow allow the technology to pick up the airborne eDNA?

New research suggests that scent dogs may provide a faster and more efficient way to detect COVID-19.
