Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to to achieve robust quantitative whole- body parametric imaging in clinically feasible scan times in patient with oncologic pathology .

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• [question 1]

• [question 2] Participants will [describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, treatments they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items].

Description:

Whole body hybrid PET/CT imaging, making use of the standardized uptake value (SUV), is well established in clinical setting for diagnosis and staging, treatment response monitoring and radiation therapy treatment planning of a wide range of oncologic malignancies. However, the SUV metric derived from static PET data does not capture the dynamics of the PET probe biodistribution in the body.

The present work proposes to fill in this notable gap: namely to merge whole-body and dynamic PET/CT imaging, to achieve robust quantitative whole- body parametric imaging in clinically feasible scan times. Our proposed approach has the potential to significantly enhance diagnostic, prognostic and treatment response monitoring capabilities of PET/CT and to fundamentally alter routine clinical practice.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Standard SUV measurement metric	The standard SUV measurement metric will be compared with the measured influx rate Ki as obtained from dynamic PET/CT imaging for FDG-avid processes. We expect a correlation coefficient of at least 0.8.	through study completion , an average of 2 years
Secondary	Image quality	This will be assessed by clinical PET/CT readers, on a 5 point scale.	through study completion , an average of 2 years
Secondary	Certainty in diagnosis of FDG-avid processes	This will be assessed by clinical PET/CT readers, on a 5 point scale.	through study completion , an average of 2 years
