High-Resolution PET-CT Imaging for Surgical Margin Visualization (NCT06915454)

High-resolution Specimen PET-CT Imaging for the Intraoperative Visualization of Resection Margins: an Exploratory Study

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Imaging will be exploratory and be used intraoperatively. There have been no discovered risks associated with the device to be used in this study, and none are anticipated given the diagnostic and non-invasive, 'ex vivo' nature of device use. Of note, the surgical resection will proceed as per standard of care and will not be affected by the research protocol. Potential Benefit: Imaging intra-operatively will ensure surgeons to identify at risk resection margins.
