Had all 3 tests within 7 days, both MRI and CT scan normal for liver Now PET states uptake at caudate lobe of the liver. Dr. Says no biopsy as it in a hard to reach area. But what if this not cancer but maybe uptake from taking strong medication after surgery.


Should I ask for another MRI to rule this out

    for the spot found on the PET scan, I'd ask the SUV of the spot.  Geneally my Onco says any SUV over 5 should be investigated. Perhaps you could open dialogue on that data point with your doctor and see what his thoughts are.
