===Positron emission tomography (PET) scan===
==References==
When doing this test, a small amount of a [[radioactive]] medium is injected into your body and absorbed by the [[organ]]s or tissues. This radioactive substance gives off energy to accept to produce the images. PET can provide more helpful information than [[CT]] scan and [[MRI]] scan. It is useful to see if the cancer has spread to [[lymph node]]s and also useful to locate where the cancer has spread.
