A member asked:
What is the best imaging test to rule out lumbar spine metastasis for breast cancer ?
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bone scan or PET: A bone scan would be a good method to look for spinal mets from breast cancer. A pet scan would be another option, which would show areas of uptake even in non-bone tissue. Good luck.
