Here you can pay for a PET scan - however I am not sure how they can do it because apparently the contrast substance is still in the trial phases for approval and use in Canada. It is 2300 - MRI and CTs and everything else is covered courtesy of social medicine. I guess the concern about false positives and the fact that it is still in the trial phases is why it isn't widely used.
