PET scans are much more sensitive than X-rays. The PET scan would likely be where they saw the other tumors (or CT scan) but a PET scan looks at the amount of glucose each tumor is using as cancerous cells use more glucose.

@californiazebra Interesting, because someone else on here said carcinoid tumors do not light up well. After the PET, my doctor confirmed all was well. So I have absolutely no idea. I'm going to research some more. Your answer sounds very plausible. Thank you very much.
