Dynamic Whole-body PET/CT Imaging in Clinical Oncology (Dynamic PET/CT)

May 16, 2024 updated by: Valentina Garibotto

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].

Detailed 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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Additionnal images during PET/CT
Radiation: PET/CT with FDG or FES
The study consists of an additional 50 minutes of imaging during the radiotracer's uptake phase prior to their clinical scan (standard of care).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Standard SUV measurement metric
Time Frame: through study completion , an average of 2 years
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 Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Image quality
Time Frame: through study completion , an average of 2 years
This will be assessed by clinical PET/CT readers, on a 5 point scale.
through study completion , an average of 2 years
Certainty in diagnosis of FDG-avid processes
Time Frame: through study completion , an average of 2 years
This will be assessed by clinical PET/CT readers, on a 5 point scale.
through study completion , an average of 2 years
