Studying a New Brain PET Insert for Simultaneous PET/MRI

This study is looking at a new device called a PET insert that works with an MRI scanner to take pictures of the brain at the same time (simultaneous PET/MR imaging). Researchers want to see how well this new PET insert works compared to existing imaging systems. You might receive a small amount of an FDA-approved tracer like FDG or Neuraceq, or you might have already received a tracer for another study. The main goal is to see if this new PET insert can successfully create clear PET/MR images of the human brain. The study is open to adults aged 21 and older who meet certain radiation exposure limits. The study plans to enroll up to 40 participants.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll up to 40 participants to test a new PET insert for MRI. There are two groups: one receives an injected radiotracer, and another has already received one for a different study.
What's involved
You would receive a small quantity of an FDA-approved radiotracer (like FDG or Neuraceq) if you are in the injected group. Then, the PET insert will be placed within a 3T MRI scanner, where PET and MRI imaging will be completed.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your PET/MR images will be measured for up to 24 months.

    The key specific measurement is the resulting PET/MR image obtained from the single subject scan.
