Inside Your Scans

How CT, PET/CT, MRI and Ultrasound
Guide Blood Cancer Care

Let’s make scans less scary (and less painful) together!

Scans can bring a lot of worry. Join expert radiologists Dr. Robyn Stacy Humphries (Charlotte Radiology) and Dr. David Prologo (Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University) to learn what each imaging test really shows and how to stay calm before, during, and after your appointment.

They’ll both share how CT, PET/CT, MRI, and ultrasound help diagnose and monitor blood cancers such as lymphoma, CLL, and myeloma. Learn more about what each test shows and what results may mean for treatment.
