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.

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 study uses advanced imaging (PET scans) to look at how well blood vessels and organs are working, which may help understand heart disease. It is open to people with heart disease and also to healthy volunteers.
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how your body handles fat. It is only for healthy volunteers, not for people with melanoma, to help doctors learn more about the body's normal fat metabolism.
This study uses a special PET scan to see how a new imaging agent behaves in the body. It is for healthy people to help future research on inflammation.
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.
