Feasibility Study for Detection of Cervical Lymph Node Metastases With a High-Resolution PET Imaging System in Patients With Known or Suspected Cancers of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract
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.
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 part of the neck that has, or is suspected to have 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 for PET
scan imaging of the breast. Using the PEMFlex Solo II for imaging any other parts of the
body is investigational.
Up to 28 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
