My husband has had pet scan and ct scans for lung cancer. Would they have scanned his brain as well?

Hi Ginntonic,
Hard to say but the appointment letter for my CT scan usually states which part of my body they plan to scan, it might be worth checking the letter again.
Mine usually says either chest and thorax, or chest, thorax and pelvis.
Failing that, you could ask your oncologist or phone the CT department, though if your husband's head didn't go inside the "doughnut" it won't have been scanned.
Best wishes
Dave
