Full Body Scans?

Hello All! :)
I was wondering what full body scans *head to foot* will work to detect ASPS?

I was told because it is so slow that PET Scans are not a great choice :/

Dear Amanda,
Based on our eleven and a half years of ASPS experience and scanning, I think that "full body scans *head to foot*" would include a combination of brain and extremity MRI's, chest/abdominal/pelvic CT's, and a full body bone scan. As far as I know there is not just one scan available that can be used to accurately detect ASPS mets in all parts of the body. Perhaps Olga or someone else can correct me if I am wrong.
With special caring thoughts and continued Hope,
Bonni

What about full body MRI scans? Wouldn't that cover bones also?
