Study Summary

This trial is comparing images from the first hour after a stroke to routine images to see if they are different.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who can give informed consent and are scheduled for a PET/CT scan with any radiotracer due to suspected or confirmed cancer. It's not necessary to have pathologic confirmation of the malignancy.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to compare images taken during the first hour of dynamic PET/CT imaging with routine clinical scan images, in patients undergoing scans for known or suspected cancer.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves standard imaging procedures, side effects may include discomfort from lying still during the scan and potential reactions to contrast agents used.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Feasibility of rapid, whole-body dynamic PET imaging as measured by number of participants who successfully complete the study imaging component

Secondary outcome measures

Clinical impacts of data motion correction (OncoFreeze) as measured by number of detectable lesions

Metabolic rate of images

Quantitative impacts of data motion correction (OncoFreeze) as measured by semi-quantitative standardized uptake value (SUV) metrics

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Dynamic PET ImagingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Dynamic PET/CT imaging will begin at approximately the same time as the clinically prescribed radiotracer injection and will continue until approximately the start of the clinical scan A subset of patients (up to 30 scheduled to undergo FDG or DOTATATE PET/CT imaging) will be asked to return within 7 days for a repeat imaging study.
