I get the bone in CT scans, but they won’t do the MRI. Very picky about doing that here in the USA.
What is it they are looking at when they’re doing an MRI that they aren’t also seeing with a CT scan>. The MRI would be a lot more detailed, so do they really need the CT scan?

@jeffmarc Often the MRI+contrast is more focused on a specific area of concern (for most PCa patients, the prostate bed, but for me, the middle spine) while the CT+contrast is the more broad "anything going on elsewhere?" scan. And then the bone scan is because my cancer was de-novo bone metastatic in 2021, so if it shows up again, it's likely to be in my bones first.
