Pilot Study of a 1-Millimeter Resolution Clinical PET System in Head and Neck Cancer Imaging
Stanford University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to gain initial experience imaging HNC patient using a new PET camera, a 1mm spacial resolution. The goal is to understand image quality of the system and to see how it works in a clinical environment.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S): Gain initial experience imaging head/neck cancer patients using a novel PET camera comprising two opposing panels with 1 millimeter spatial resolution. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE(S): 1. Determine the radioactive dose and scan time required for this novel 1 millimeter (mm) resolution clinical PET camera. 2. Images obtained with the 1 mm resolution PET camera will be compared to conventional PET imaging (which will serve as gold standard) for image quality and lesion/node visualization.
