Measuring bone blood flow with a total-body PET/CT scan
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in your bones using a special whole-body PET/CT scanner. It may help improve how doctors detect bone problems in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 50 years old.
- You are generally healthy and do not have bone diseases like osteoporosis or cancer that has spread to the bone.
- You can lie still for about 60 minutes.
- You have good veins for an IV line and can control your bladder during the scan.

This trial tests a much smaller amount of radiation during a PET scan to see if it can still show bone issues clearly. You might join if you need a bone scan and want to try a lower radiation approach.
This study uses a special whole-body PET/CT scan to help confirm whether a suspicious bone spot or high tumor marker means cancer. It aims to see if this new imaging method can help guide your biopsy and treatment decisions.
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 PET scan to see how a new imaging agent behaves in the body. It is for healthy people to help future research on inflammation.
This pilot study tests a total-body PET scan with approved tracer medicines to help detect cancer spread in people with suspected metastatic prostate cancer or certain neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). You may be able to join if recent scans already suggest metastasis and you can safely complete the scan timing and positioning.
This study tests if a very low dose of a standard PET scan tracer (FDG) can produce clear images. It may help people who need a PET scan but are concerned about radiation exposure.
