Education program to improve heart PET scan image quality
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special patient education program helps produce clearer heart PET scan images when checking for heart inflammation or infection. The program teaches patients how to follow a special diet and preparation steps before the scan.

This trial tests a new imaging tracer called folate PET to see if it can help diagnose two heart conditions: cardiac sarcoidosis (inflammation in the heart) and infective endocarditis (infection on heart valves). If successful, it could offer a more accurate and targeted way to spot these problems early.
This study tests whether an FDG-PET/CT scan (a special imaging test) can help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with a suspected native heart valve infection. It may help reduce uncertainty by showing where the infection activity is.
This study tests a special type of PET/CT scan to better detect infections on a prosthetic (replaced) heart valve. It may help doctors confirm whether infection is present, based on imaging results.
This trial uses FDG-PET scans to see if a heart valve infection (endocarditis) is cured after antibiotics. It is for people with a prosthetic valve who had an active infection and a specific PET scan early in treatment.
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 study uses a special imaging technique called FDG-PET to look at infections in implanted heart devices. It aims to see if computer analysis of the images can help doctors diagnose and monitor these infections more accurately.
