PET scan for Lyme neuroborreliosis diagnosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special PET scan (64Cu-DOTATATE) can help diagnose Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), an infection of the nervous system caused by Lyme disease. The study aims to see if this scan can detect the infection earlier or more accurately than current methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new PET scan tracer to find neuroendocrine tumors in the body. It may help doctors see where the tumors are and plan better treatment.
This trial is testing a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer (18F-mFBG) to see how much it is taken up by the heart. The goal is to help tell Lewy body disease (Parkinson's or Lewy body dementia) apart from other brain disorders.
This study tests a new imaging technique using a special tracer (68Ga-DOTA-BLP) that may help spot cancer more accurately. It is for people with confirmed cancer who have suspicious lymph nodes or possible spread, and who have not yet started cancer treatment.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan using a radioactive tracer called 61Cu-NODAGA-LM3 to detect neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The goal is to see if it works as well as or better than the standard scan. If you have a NET and need a scan for staging or treatment planning, you might be able to join.
This study tests how well a new PET/CT scan using 68Ga-DOTATATE can find neuroblastoma. It’s for children and young adults who are being planned for a different scan (123I-MIBG) to compare imaging results.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to find lung tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better detect cancer cells, which may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
