@shar1120 Which one is safer depends on your own unique health situation. What is your eGFR [kidney function] number? The PET scan uses radiation, the MRI uses contrast dye. What does the doctor who is recommending the test have to say? Has he spoken with your nephrologist about concerns if he uses contrast dye?
