- Original description
The goal of this study is to evaluate the imaging capabilities of a new prostate-targeted PET system (P-PET) and determine whether it could be useful in detecting prostate cancer by comparing SOC whole body PET imaging. This pilot study will include adult men who have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have prostate cancer. Participants will undergo a standard-of-care PET/CT scan followed by an additional P-PET scan designed to provide detailed images of the prostate. The images from the two scans to assess how well the P-PET system can detect prostate cancer.Read full original descriptionShow less
A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Imaging Capability of a Novel Prostate-targeted PET System (P-PET) to Detect Prostate Cancer
The goal of this study is to evaluate the imaging capabilities of a new prostate-targeted PET system (P-PET) and determine whether it could be useful in detecting prostate cancer by comparing SOC whole body PET imaging. This pilot study will include adult men who have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have prostate cancer. Participants will undergo a standard-of-care PET/CT scan followed by an additional P-PET scan designed to provide detailed images of the prostate. The images from the two scans to assess how well the P-PET system can detect prostate cancer.
Inclusion: Qualitative comparison of PET scans acquired by the P-PET vs. WB PET.
Exclusion: Unable to comply with the length of scan time due to the study imaging.
