I dont know how much help i can be, but wanted to welcome you here to the board. you asked if pet scans and ct scans are the same. they are not. the pet scan uses a radioactive substance that kind of lights up when its in contact with something out of whack, (not always cancer), and a ct scan with contrast uses kind of an iodine substance that just enhances the tissues. my doctor always orders both , because when you see something showing up on both images you can be more positive about whats going on. i hope that your scans come out clean this time around. i have never heard of mini mets though. seems like your doctor has a good handle on this and that you are on the right track. good luck and keep us posted.
