Computed tomography (CT) scanning of the body may be carried out to look for any spread to the lungs (pulmonary metastases), liver (hepatic metastases), or bone (bony metastases).
Further imaging may include bone scanning using radioactive isotopes, which are avidly taken up by the tumor metastases in bone, and PET-CT, which can visualize active foci of the metastatic disease in the body.
