Study Summary

This trial will use a single-tracer PET scan to measure both blood flow and glucose metabolism in the body. Researchers believe it can be done using only 18F-FDG.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who can consent and follow the study schedule. Healthy volunteers must have no cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, while patients with such conditions can join. Exclusions include high blood glucose, weight over 240 kg, pregnancy, recent PET scans in other studies, prisoners, and those unable to consent.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial aims to develop a PET imaging method using a single tracer (18F-FDG) to assess both blood flow and glucose metabolism simultaneously. This could potentially streamline the process of diagnosing various conditions related to heart and metabolic health.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include reactions from the injection site due to tracer administration or discomfort from lying still during scanning. Anxiety or claustrophobia might occur due to enclosed space of the scanner.
