I don't know exactly what your are referring to, but they can do CT scans over different parts of your body, but usually try to limit what you get to minimize radiation exposure. Sometimes a PET scan will also be ordered, as it gives more resolution. The blood sympton would be worrisome to me and I would definitely go back to a doctor to get more information. Ask for copies of the reports, as I sometimes find I either "don't hear" or something isn't covered, that is important to my self-care later on.
