Ultralow Dose PET Imaging of 18F-FDG Uptake (NCT06956391)

Evaluation of Ultralow Dose PET Imaging for Detecting 18F-FDG Uptake

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Akiva Mintz

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an investigational ultralow dose PET imaging technique for cancer detection and monitoring. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the investigators optimize the timing, scan duration, and image reconstruction to reduce the radiation dose 10-100 fold of the current clinical standard? Participants will be injected with a radioactive tracer called 18F-FDG and be imaged on a new type of high-sensitivity PET scanner for up to 3 hours.
