Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,128 | I always get a copy of the scan, be it CT, PET or MRI -- Right now I have five CTs, two PETs and one MRI on CD and in my laptop -- Up until yesterday, they were free (I ask the tech doing the work), but then UW Med Center charged me $13.50 plus tax...
I am getting better at looking at the scans, now that I have one CT/PET with actual cancer on it (Couldn't see it on the contemporary MRI, however).
Debbie, take some time to scan the back posts and read the site stuf to really get some info.
