NCT ID: NCT05003830 Recruiting - Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trials

Application of Multi-probe PET/MR Imaging in the Diagnosis and Evaluation of Alzheimer's Disease

Start date: July 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of cognitive impairment, and its diagnosis requires a comprehensive analysis of the results of medical history, neuropsychological evaluation, imaging and laboratory tests. Among them, it has been widely recognized that amyloid PET imaging is used in the early diagnosis of AD, tau protein PET imaging is used in the assessment of the progression of AD, and the glucose metabolism PET imaging is used in the assessment of nerve damage. MRI can provide structure, blood perfusion, neural network connection damage and other information through multi-sequence scans. With the help of the PET/MR multi-modal imaging platform and multi-probe imaging technology, it can provide more sensitive and accurate imaging information for early diagnosis and disease assessment of AD, and provide a basis for clinical treatment decision-making.

NCT ID: NCT04045834 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Neuroendocrine Tumors

Study of the Diagnostic Value of Hybrid PET/MR and PET/CT in Neuroendocrine Diseases and Tumor Induced Osteomalacia

Start date: May 5, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare neoplasms arising from the diffuse endocrine system and spreading throughout the different organs and tissues of the body. Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) , is a rare, serious paraneoplastic syndrome primarily derived from a benign tumor of mesenchymal tissue. NETs and mesenchymal tumors are often insidious and are undetectable by conventional imaging techniques including ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance, while a permanent cure will rely on exact localization and completely removal of the tumor. Positron emission tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis, staging, efficacy evaluation and recurrence monitoring of various tumors. NETs and mesenchymal tumors overexpress somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), so molecular imaging using radiolabeled somatostatin analogues may be one of the best ways to detect the occult tumors. Recently, somatostatin analogue labelled with gallium-68 (68Ga-DOTA-TATE) as a novel positron tracer has shown to be effective for the detection of NETs and mesenchymal tumors. In this prospective study, the investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipment, integrated PET/MR,and PET / CT with specific imaging agent 68Ga-DOTA-TATE and conventional imaging agent [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose to image patients suspected or confirmed NETs and TIO, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR and PET/CT in neuroendocrine diseases and TIO.

NCT ID: NCT04006223 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Systemic Amyloidosis

The Diagnostic Value of Hybrid PET/MR for Systemic Amyloidosis

Start date: March 11, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Systemic amyloidosis is a multi-system disease caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive organ dysfunction. The clinical manifestations of different types of amyloidosis are complex and diverse, and the prognosis is very poor. Early detection and classification of amyloid deposition is becoming increasingly important. However, conventional imaging techniques including ultrasound and magnetic resonance are not sensitive or specific. Endocardial biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, but it is an invasive procedure with a clinical complication rate of 6%. Positron emission tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for diagnosing systemic amyloidosis. Recently, amyloid PET imaging agents (11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) have been shown to be effective as novel positron tracers to detect potential amyloid deposition in some small sample studies. The investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipment, integrated PET/MR with amyloid PET imaging agents(11C-PIB or 18F-florbetapir) to image patients suspected or confirmed systemic amyloidosis, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR for systemic amyloidosis.

NCT ID: NCT03756077 Recruiting - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

A Study of the Value of Hybrid PET/MR and PET/CT in Prostate Cancer

Start date: April 26, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

According to the latest data from the China National Cancer Center, prostate cancer has become the most common tumor in the urinary system since 2008. However, conventional imaging techniques including transrectal ultrasound , computed tomography and bone scintigraphy are not sensitive or specific. About 40% of resectable lesions cannot be detected by these techniques. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. Recently, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a new novel positron tracer has shown to be effective to detect primary lesions, recurrent and metastatic lesions of prostate cancer. In this prospective study, the investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipments, integrated PET/MR, and PET/CT with prostate cancer-specific imaging agent 68Ga-PSMA and conventional imaging agent [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose to image patients with or suspected of prostate cancer, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR and PET/CT in prostate cancer.
