Tomorrow is my first post-treatment scan (tx ended 3/15). While I am not too nervous about the results, I was somewhat curious about something.
My earlier scans were all the combined PET/CT scans (including the delightful Flourine-18 radio-isotope IV). Tomorrow I am scheduled for an ordinary, run-of-the-mill, ho-hum CT scan of my head and neck only (with IV contrast dye).
Is it SOP to have just an ordinary CT? Could also be for mapping purposes since I have my selective dissection later this month.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Tim
