Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goals of this study are to (1) develop and refine PET post-processing acquisition procedures, (2) generate preliminary and comparative imaging data for potential clinical trials, and (3) retrospectively evaluate standard of care PET imaging acquisitions by comparison with investigational PET imaging acquisitions.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for men and women aged 18 or older who are already scheduled to receive a standard PET scan at OSU. It's designed to refine PET imaging techniques and compare them with current methods.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients who have previously received a standard of care PET scan at OSU

Patients receiving a standard of care PET scan at OSU

Exclusion Criteria

Participants who are pregnant or lactating

Prisoners

I am unable to understand or sign the consent form.

Timeline

Screening

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial

2-4 weeks

Prospective Imaging

Participants undergo investigational PET acquisitions in addition to standard of care PET imaging to develop and optimize PET acquisition post-processing techniques.

Up to 2 hours per session

1 visit (in-person)

Retrospective Data Review

Review of pre-existing PET imaging data collected from January 1, 2001, through December 5, 2017, for comparison with investigational images.

Ongoing throughout study

Follow-up

Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after imaging procedures

4 weeks

Treatment Details

Interventions

• Investigational Positron Emission Tomography

Trial Overview The study is testing new ways of processing images from PET scans, which could improve how we visualize what's happening inside the body. Participants will have their standard care PET images compared with these new investigational procedures.
