PET scan for fungal infections
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.
This trial tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer (called ⁶⁸Ga-FXX489) to help find and diagnose cancers. It is for people who are strongly suspected to have cancer and want to see if this new imaging method can help their doctors learn more about their disease.
This study is testing a new imaging agent to see if it can help detect invasive mold infections in the body. It will involve healthy volunteers and people with certain types of fungal infections.
This study uses a special PET scan (called FAPI-74) to see if it can detect fibrosis (scarring) in the lungs of people with active TB. It looks at the scan both at the start of treatment and after 6 months of therapy to understand how the lungs heal.
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how well it can find and track different types of cancer. It may help doctors better understand your cancer.
This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga-1A12) to look for scarring (fibrosis) in your body. The scan may help doctors see where fibrosis is happening, which could guide your treatment.
