Question

Will a pet scan show more than a cat scan?


Sent to Health Experts June 25, 2006 4:45 p.m.

I had a cat scan that showed I had 2 nodules in my right lung. I then had a pet scan that showed those 2 plus 4 smaller ones. There was a time space of two months between the two. Also the largest nodule in the cat scan measured 2.3cm x 1.6 but in the pet scan it measured 2.9. cm in length. The smailler one in the cat scan measured 1cm but in the pet scan it was 1.4 cm.   The others were not measured that showed up on the pet scan. Was there growth or just more exact measurement?
