I believe the CT scan is good for finding changes in the size of the tissue mass, and the PET scan reveals metabolic activity. In my case two successive CT scans showed tumor shrinkage even while symptoms got worse. The PET scan showed increased activity in one section of the liver.

So a PET with contrast would maybe pick up more sooner? Thank you for your reply btw.
