@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.

That’s why I was puzzled that they did about the CT scanned and an MRI. It seemed to be that it was regularly done. I would definitely prefer an MRI if I had a choice between the two and they did equal testing.
