Re: Scan choices: Is there a radiologist in the house?

Got a call back on this.
Turns out it took them a bit to come to the same conclusion: Since she won't be getting contrast with the CT("allergy"), it wouldn't have as much morphological advantage over the PET/CT to outweigh the added uptake information of the latter.

I wonder if the supposed lack of survival advantage applies to those with liver mets, since they (and necrosis) can be diffuse to the point of making CT indeterminate.
