Do you mean, what is the application of a PET scanner? then... It is used mostly to detect heart/brain diseases and tumors, but is also used for many more things.
A PET scan uses radioisotope decay by detecting the pair of annihilation photons emitted during the decay process.
Most likely the PET scan images showed a suspicious growth or something and it was decided to biopsy it to determine what it actually was and if it needed to be removed or could be left alone.
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a brain imaging method that requires the injection of a radioactive substance. This substance emits gamma rays that can be detected by a gamma camera to produce detailed images of brain activity.
Pet Scan
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan can be used to observe brain metabolism by detecting levels of glucose consumption. Alternatively, a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan can show blood flow changes associated with brain activity.
Yes, there are apps available that can scan pet microchips. These apps use the smartphone's camera to scan the microchip and provide information about the pet.

Are you talking about a PET scan?
A PET scan shows what level / stage (if any) the cancer is at. An MRI scan doesn't do this, the reader, looks for abnormalities on the scan which shows up everything in the body.
Yes, but bone scan has to be completed first.

A PET scan, or Positron Emission Tomography, is used to scan internal organs for abnormalities, like tumors, or cancer. PET scans for animals may cost hundreds, or thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the animal, and the complexity of the scan.
A full body PET scan can take 30 to 45 minutes. A scan of a single lamp or a single organ can take as little as 10 minutes.

He'll yes.
