My main doctor will only do a Chest x-ray and physical exam. This is the standard of care at MDACC. I did just have a CT scan on my last visit but that was because of some other symptoms I was having. (it turned out fine) Interestingly enough, most of the doctors at MDACC do not do routine PET/CT scans and don't seem to think much of them.
