Consultant took it to MDT

After recently having  CT and  Bone scans ct found insidental findings on my spine and bone scan was negative.

Today MDT are sending me for a PET scan at the Chrisie and will mostlybe looking at my spine.

Q- does a PET scan look  everywhere ?

Hope this all makes sence

Take care

  • Hi  very low numbers so no rush.  At such low numbers even a PET may not pick anything up, but yes it can look everywhere. 

    Best wishes, David
