I believe he meant a Cat scan, I will not use my dirty mind to describe it,
Definition
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that allows your doctor to check for diseases in your body.
The scan uses a special dye containing radioactive tracers. These tracers are either swallowed, inhaled, or injected into a vein in your arm depending on what part of the body is being examined. Certain organs and tissues then absorb the tracer.
When detected by a PET scanner, the tracers help your doctor to see how well your organs and tissues are working.
The tracer will collect in areas of higher chemical activity, which is helpful because certain tissues of the body, and certain diseases, have a higher level of chemical activity. These areas of disease will show up as bright spots on the PET scan.
The PET scan can measure blood flow, oxygen use, how your body uses sugar, and much more.
A PET scan is typically an outpatient procedure. This means you can go about your day after the test is finished.
Good Luck Michael.... I have a buddy that is preparing for one of them, real soon...

Good luck today!
Michael,
Good luck with your Pet scan.
I had another Brain MRI Thursday at Mayo. It’s probably my 12th one.
Good result this time.
Unfortuanly they want me to have another Cat scan to look at a possible melanoma. Hope they find nothing.
All the best,
Bill Stroud
God bless her and you as well. Thank you.
A cat can certainly be a pet but a CAT scan is different than a PET scan and a dog scan is a whole other procedure which many of us should get prior to playing in tournaments or serious money matches
Michael, prayers and positive thoughts being sent your way for a good results on your scan
