This trial is for adults over 18 who can consent to participate or have a representative to do so. It's suitable for those with cognitive impairment and healthy subjects interested in PET imaging research. People with serious health issues, psychological conditions, or mobility problems that could affect their safety or participation are not eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is evaluating the PennPET Explorer Scanner, which is an investigational PET machine capable of imaging larger sections of the body at once compared to current clinical scanners. The goal is to gather data on how best to utilize this whole-body scanner.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the radioactive drug used during PET scanning such as discomfort at injection site, allergic reactions, and rare instances of radiation exposure-related risks.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: PennPET ExplorerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All subjects will be scanned in the CT scanner and then the scanner bed will be moved into position in the PennPET Explorer for initiation of the PET scan. For all PET scans a radioactive imaging drug is used.
The radiotracer injection may be performed according to one of the following scenarios:
As part of a clinical standard-of-care (SOC) PET/CT or PET/MRI scan (using an FDA-approved radiotracer; the PennPET Explorer cannot yet accommodate a study that requires a commercially available 510(k)-approved instrument for clinical results, subjects in this group will be scanned on both a commercial instrument (PET/CT or PET.MRI) and the PennPET Explorer),
As part of another research study (using either an FDA-approved radiotracer or an investigational radiotracer),
As a research injection designed specifically to utilize the PennPET Explorer (using an FDA-approved radiotracer).
