Whether or not you go for more diagnostic, of any type, depends on whether or not you intend to act on the resulting information. If youre 100% sure the info will be ignored - no change in treatment due to results, ok dont do it. But if theres a chance you really havent decided to stop all treatment, then you go for the scan.
