A Comparison of Static and Dynamic PET/CT (HYPOTHESIS Generation Study)

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

D-WB PET/CT: Instead of the usual procedure of having the injection of the radiotracer in the waiting room and having to wait 60 minutes before being moved to the scanner room for imaging, the study participants will be injected with the radiotracer already laying on the scanner bed and the scan will commence immediately. Therefore, in this study the patients are still only being scanned once, but we are gathering PET information in a different way.

Study summary

The general purpose of this initial study is to evaluate whether parametric PET/CT improves diagnosis and treatment monitoring in select diseases. The specific aim of the HYPOTHESIS GENERATION study is:

1\. To obtain and compare parametric as well as traditional static PET/CT images and determine the number of lesions identified on each type of scan.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Obtaining a database of parametric and traditional static PET/CT images for comparison of visual and semiquantitative evaluation — through study completion, average 1 year
  We will perform a correlation of the image derived from parametric PET/CT with those obtained from static PET/CT. This will allow us to evaluate if there are clinical advantages in regards to using parametric PET in clinical routine.
