===PET===
*'''[[Positron emission tomography]] ([[PET]]) scan:''' When doing this test, a small amount of a radioactive medium is injected into your body and absorbed by the organs or tissues. This radioactive substance gives off energy which in turn is used to produce the images. PET can provide more helpful information than either [[CT]] or [[MRI]] scans. It is useful to see if the [[cancer] has spread to the [[lymph node]]s and it is also useful for your doctor to locate where the cancer has spread.
 
===Bone scan===
'''Whole [[bone scan]]:''' The goal of a whole body bone scan is to show if a cancer has metastasized to your bones.
