Ct Scan Melanoma
PET scans versus CT scans with contrast?
Which one is better?
I have melanoma and usually get PET scans. I am waiting on the results on my latest.
So, if a PET scan shows a small mass that lights up, what are the chanches of a false positive?
Does CT with contrast show active tumors like a PET scan?
I know there a few questions in here, but please answer the best you can.
ztim- yes the PET is two times more expensive.
I had both. The PET was when my oncologist wanted to check out a total bone scan. The CT was what I usually would get. I’m not sure which is better if either one is at all. Maybe the PET is more expensive.
