Clinical Protocol Development on a PET/MR System

Overview

About this study

The objective of this pilot research protocol is to evaluate the quality of PET from the SIGNA PET/MR system and to compare the quantitative accuracy of PET images from the PET/MR system to PET images from a standard PET/CT system.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate.

Patients 18 to 100 years of age
Patients who are scheduled for a clinically indicated F-18 FDG PET/CT study
Patients who are able and willing to sign the informed consent will be enrolled
Patients at high risk for multiple sites of F-18 FDG avid abnormalities based on prior clinical or radiologic evaluation or those who demonstrate multiple sites of abnormal FDG uptake on their clinical PET/CT scan will be selected for participation.In this way patients will be enrolled who provide the highest likelihood of having multiple FDG avid sites to serve as evaluable comparisons between the standard PET/CT scan and the PET/MR scan.
Patients who have a BMI of at least 18.5 kg/m2
Patients who pass standard clinical MRI screening procedures

Eligibility Criteria:

Patients who are unable to lay quietly for an additional 60 minutes of imaging
