Araik may be nuts but he's not stupid..
He knows what to do.
MRI is to exclude infiltration of the base of the skull
PET scan is to check for mets.
However his medical team has financial constraints as I believe he's
been out of work for a while. CT can be used to cover the above
questions too, its just not first choice. I'm sure they'll do the best
they can.
