Yes you can have just a CT scan done and not really notice the difference. Except when they order my PET/CT I have to drink this stuff that comes in different flavors (I had peach tea last time) at the clinic and then sit for an hour. They then inject you with with the tracer dye stuff and they always give me valium. For just the CT with contrast, I have to drink two bottles of this creamy liquid gross stuff that I take home with me and drink a few hours before my tests. If you look at the orders it should say PET/CT or just plain CT with contrast. My results have come back several different ways with PET/CT..sometimes there are 3 sheets breaking everything down from lung area to liver area. Then this time...all I got back was one sheet saying no sign of disease or mets. I think it depends on who is reading it and does the reporting. I never get a CD, didn't know they offered one...sherryg683
