Difficult to say: Pet scans are an incredible technology but not for reasons that you'd get an MRI or ct scan for. Without knowing why you feel a pet scan might be useful for your son, it's hard to answer your question. What condition does he have? What answers are you hoping to gain from the results of a pet scan?

More info: It would depend on what disease was being looked for. Pet/ct looks at function, while MRI and ct look at the anatomy primarily.
