Quality Improvement Study of a New Generation of Whole Body PET Scanners
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The researchers are doing this study to test the capabilities of a new total-body PET scanner called the Biograph Vision Quadra. The researchers want to learn whether this scanner can produce better PET/CT images and provide more useful imaging information than standard PET/CT scanners.
Description
This protocol is a quality improvement protocol intended to explore and capitalize on the advanced performance characteristics of a new total body PET scanner; the Biograph Vision Quadra manufactured by Siemens Healthineers.
