    Well, a CAT Scan or CT scan does not show platelets as that is a part of the blood, it is the clotting factor in blood. So to test the platelets the doctor needs to take blood. I am sure he did the scan to rule out any other skeletal, muscular, or organ abnormalities.

    How did the marrow test come out?
