Arrow Pet Scan

Hi Again, Am looking for clarification on this issue. When I had my first pet-ct scan this past June 30th, the tech told me the pet begins about at the eyebrow line then down to the lower legs. She said it even takes in a part of the brain, I am assuming behind the eyebrows-what is the difference then with a Pet and a MRI of the brain? Is the MRI more extensive? My oncologist has never ordered one for me as yet-thanks Ceesun AKA Cathy
