Compare two types of PET/CT scan pictures
Part of Cancer, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of taking PET/CT scan images. It may help doctors choose the best scan method for planning treatment, checking how it’s working, or evaluating infection or inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to get a standard PET/CT scan for staging, response checks, or infection/inflammation evaluation
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You can comfortably stay still in the scanner for about 70 minutes
- You do not have claustrophobia or other reasons you cannot tolerate a PET scan
- You are physically able to lie still for the scan (good “performance status”)

This study compares two types of PET/CT machines to see how well they work for imaging. It may help if you are getting a PET/CT scan as part of your care.
This study compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which one is better at finding prostate cancer, detecting if it has come back, or spotting spread to other parts of the body. You will get both scans so doctors can compare them directly.
This trial compares a two-step nuclear imaging scan (SPECT/CT) versus a PET/CT scan to see which works better for lung cancer. It may help guide doctors on the most useful imaging approach before you start lung-cancer treatment.
This trial compares different ways to measure sugar uptake in PET/CT scans for cancer. It aims to see which method gives the most accurate results to help guide your treatment.
This trial compares two types of PET/CT scans (using different radioactive tracers) to see which is better at finding prostate cancer, tracking its return, or spotting spread. It's for people with prostate cancer or those being checked for recurrence after treatment.
This trial tests whether a newer type of MRI scan (called whole-body DWI) can work as well as a standard PET/CT scan (called FDG PET) for finding and monitoring cancer that has spread. If you have metastatic cancer and already have a scheduled PET/CT or other scan, you may be able to get both scans done, helping researchers compare the two methods.
