Yes, it depends on who is reading these scans also. Since I get PET/CTs so often, I have gotten use to this one guy reading my scans. He doesn't use all those alarming phrases that get you all worried. Every now and then my scans will get read by someone else and there's all this " cover your ass phrases" in there. My last scan was like that, then on reading it further, it said there was no changes from previous scan. ...sherry
