Single injection PET scan to study body metabolism
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a single injection and a special type of PET scan to look at how your body's tissues use fuel (metabolism). It helps researchers learn more about normal and disease-related changes in the heart, liver, and other organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be able to lie still in a scanner for up to 60 minutes.
- You must be willing to fast (no food or drink except water) for at least 6 hours before the scan.
- You should not have a fear of small, enclosed spaces.
- You should not have had a research PET scan in the last 12 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brain related to fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand how liver health affects brain function.
This research study uses advanced imaging scans (PET and MRI) to see how well blood vessels work and how organs use energy in your body. The study includes people with heart disease and healthy volunteers, and may help doctors better understand heart and metabolic health.
This study tests if a very low dose of a standard PET scan tracer (FDG) can produce clear images. It may help people who need a PET scan but are concerned about radiation exposure.
This trial tests a very low dose of a radioactive tracer (18F-flurpiridaz) for PET scans of the heart. It aims to see if using less radiation still produces clear images, which may be safer for patients who need repeated scans.
This study tests whether a specific diet before a heart PET scan (using a radioactive sugar called 18F-FDG) improves image quality. If you have a heart condition like inflammation or infection, you may be asked to follow the diet to help doctors see your heart more clearly.
This trial improves a special PET scan (a type of brain/body imaging) using 18F-DOPA, to better show how certain conditions behave in the body. If you or your child may have one of the listed conditions, the study may help your doctors get clearer scan results.
