There is much contraversy involving Pet scans and CT/Pet scans. It is my understanding that it requires a specially trained radiologist to read these things properly.
According to my ENT, at a recent symposium, a question was put forward regarding this very subject and 9 out of 10 of a team of doctors from 2 major Comprehensive Cancer Treatment centers relied on the Pet and Pet/ct as an effective tool.
A small needle biopsy may be in order for you to resolve your anxiety and give you peace of mind.
Remember, we have a motto here "It ain't Cancer till you look at it on a cellular level".
