Testing a new head-only PET scanner
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new, more comfortable head-only PET scanner that may be easier for patients to use. You can join if you are already getting a routine brain PET scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are already scheduled to have a routine brain PET scan.
- You can sit still and upright for at least 15 minutes.
- You have no metal implants in your head.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to understand and follow study instructions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new way to take brain imaging scans (PET scans) using a very small amount of radioactive tracer. Researchers want to see if they can get clear pictures of your brain while reducing your radiation exposure compared to standard scans.
This study compares a newer PET/CT scanner (called NeuroEXPLORER) with standard PET/CT scanners for imaging the head and neck region. The goal is to see if the new scanner provides better or clearer images to help diagnose conditions.
This study tests a new radioactive dye called [18F]GATT-44 to see how well it can show a specific brain protein on a PET scan. It may help researchers better understand brain conditions in the future.
This study tests a new, fast, and quiet AI-powered PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of children with suspected cancer. It aims to make the imaging experience easier and more comfortable for kids.
This study is testing a new type of PET scanner (called J-PET) to see if it works as well as current PET/CT machines. If you are already scheduled for a whole-body PET/CT scan, participating would mean your scan is done with this experimental scanner instead.
This trial is creating a database of brain scans from healthy people to improve understanding of epilepsy. You would have one PET scan of your brain to help researchers develop new imaging methods.
