      There is a scan that is just for bone mets. I had it done years ago and the issue ended up being totally unrelated. My mel oncologist at the time ordered the scan. 

      I'm not sure which of the other scans pick up bone mets but I would think that the PET, CT or MRI would all pick them up.
