Feasibility Study for Imaging of Peripheral Tumors With a High-Resolution PET Imaging System
A study testing HR PEM Scan in people with Solid Tumors and Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using the PEMFlex Solo II, a high-resolution camera for PET scan imaging, on an area of the body that has, or is suspected to have cancer will give researchers the same or better information about the disease compared to the images taken with a routine PET/CT.

About this study
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using the PEMFlex Solo II, a high-resolution camera for PET scan imaging, on an area of the body that has, or is suspected to have cancer will give researchers the same or better information about the disease compared to the images taken with a routine PET/CT.
Researchers will compare the images taken using the PEMFlex Solo II to the images taken during your scheduled routine PET/CT scan, as well as any additional routine CT scan(s), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan(s), and/or ultrasound image(s) you may have had within the last 30 days or may have in the next 30 days.
Read the detailed description
If you agree to take part in this study, right after your already-scheduled routine PET/CT scan is complete, a study staff member will take you to a separate imaging room located in the same clinic area where your routine PET/CT scan was just performed.
You will then sit in a chair as a study staff member positions the PEMFlex Solo II on either side of the area being checked for cancer. It will take about 20 minutes to set up the PEMFlex Solo II and take the PET scan images.
Length of Study:
After the PET scan images have been taken using the PEMFlex Solo II, your participation in this study will be over.
This is an investigational study. The PEMFlex Solo II is commercially available and designed for PET scan imaging of the breast. The use of the PEMFlex Solo II for imaging other parts of the body is investigational.
Up to 20 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HR PEM ScanProcedure or surgery
Also called HR PET/CT Scan, PET/CT Imaging, PET, CT
PEMFlex Solo II, a high-resolution camera for PET scan imaging, on an area of body that has, or is suspected to have cancer following routine, standard, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| PEM Scan | Experimental | HR PEM images (High Resolution PEMFlex Solo II scan images) Receives: Procedure: HR PEM Scan |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of peripheral tumor lesions identified in standard PET/CT imaging also identifiable in PEM images.
Study considered a success if 70% of lesions identified using standard images are also identifiable in the PEM image.
Measured: 20 minutes for imaging using PEMFlex Solo II
