Study of a 1-Millimeter Resolution Clinical Positron Emission Tomography (PET) System in Head and Neck Cancer Imaging
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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.

Detailed 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):
-
Determine the radioactive dose and scan time required for this novel 1 millimeter (mm) resolution clinical PET camera.
-
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.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Novel PET Camera Patients already undergoing a PET/CT scan for HNC will afterwards undergo a PET scan with the proposed device, thus no additional radioactivity is needed as part of this study. |
Device: 1-mm Resolution Clinical PET camera

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Acquiring PET images of HNC patients with the 1 mm resolution PET imaging device. [Day 1]
PET images of HNC patients with the 1 mm resolution PET imaging device will be qualitatively accessed whether the camera can visualize the primary lesion, including heterogeneity and lymph nodes will be assessed.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Measure image quality of the 1 mm resolution PET imaging device [Day 1]
Image quality of the 1 mm resolution PET imaging device (scale 1-5) with 5 being highest 'image quality' will be assessed to understand radioactive dose and scan time required for a given desired image quality.
