Linda,

a pet scan can go from top of head to toes. Ask them to go to top of head. pet will show bone mets, but i don't think it will show a very small spot like a bone scan will show. It will show a big tumor in the brain, but then again it won't show a small spot in the brain. A mri is better for looking for brain mets.
