Study Summary

This trial is testing a new PET camera that has 1mm spatial resolution, to see if it's helpful for diagnosing breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with biopsy-confirmed breast cancer that's at least 5 mm in size, as seen on mammogram or ultrasound. They must have had a recent imaging test within the last 60 days and be able to give informed consent. It's not open to those allergic to FDG, pregnant or nursing women, or anyone with conditions that could affect their participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new 'breast-dedicated' PET camera designed for high-resolution images of breast tissue using an imaging agent called 18F-FDG. The aim is to understand how well this technology works in a clinical setting and what practical issues might arise.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects are not detailed here, generally PET scans are considered safe; however, there may be minimal risks associated with exposure to radiation from the tracer (18F-FDG) used during the scan.
