Testing PET-CT scans for invasive fungal infection
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a PET-CT scan using a small amount of tracer (FDG) can help doctors better identify invasive fungal infections inside the body. It may be useful for guiding diagnosis when standard information is unclear.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older).
- You must be hospitalized with a diagnosis of invasive fungal infection.
- You must be able to get one PET-CT scan with FDG (a tracer injection).
- You must be willing to sign an informed consent form.
- You should not have a current active bacterial infection that could also light up on the scan.
- You should not have had recent surgery in the affected area within the last 3 months.

This study uses a special imaging scan (PET/CT) to see if a foot infection has spread to the bone in people with diabetes. The scan may help doctors diagnose bone infection more accurately, potentially avoiding unnecessary treatments.
This trial tests a PET scan (a type of imaging) that targets cells in the body that help support cancers. It may help doctors better see where cancer-associated cells are located, which could guide future cancer care.
This trial tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see tumors more clearly during a PET scan. It is for people with certain types of cancer who are willing to have a biopsy of their tumor.
This study uses a special imaging technique called FDG-PET to look at infections in implanted heart devices. It aims to see if computer analysis of the images can help doctors diagnose and monitor these infections more accurately.
This study tests a new imaging agent that helps PET scans show cancer more clearly. It may help doctors see where cancer is in your body and plan your treatment better.
