AI-powered PET/MR scanner for children with suspected cancer
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have symptoms that make the doctor think they might have a malignant (cancerous) tumor.
- You and your child need to agree to take part in the study by signing a consent form.
- Your child must be between 0 and 18 years old.
- Your child should not have serious health problems like severe heart, lung, bone marrow, liver, or kidney issues.
- Your child should not have severe claustrophobia, seizures, breathing trouble while lying down, or mental conditions that make cooperation hard.
- Your child must not have metal implants such as a pacemaker, artificial heart valve, or neurostimulator.

This trial uses a special PET scan called 18F-mFBG to take pictures of neuroblastoma tumors. It helps doctors see where the cancer is and whether treatment is working.
This study tests a new PET scan method (using a special tracer called 18F-Pentixafor) to see if it can better find and track blood cancers. It may help your doctors get more detailed images with less radiation.
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.
This study checks whether a special scan called PET-MRI can better tell if a child’s brain tumor has come back after treatment. It may help doctors decide faster and more accurately when changes seen on regular MRI are true tumor recurrence.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a special imaging test) called 18F-FGIn to help doctors better detect and evaluate cancers. It may be more accurate than the standard PET scan for certain tumors like brain, liver, stomach, and colon cancers.
This study tests a new type of imaging scan (PET/CT or PET/MR) that uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors better detect and diagnose various cancers. The scan targets a specific protein found in tumors, which may help identify cancer more accurately than standard imaging.
