About this study

There will be a single injection of the PET radiopharmaceutical followed by a standard PET/CT scan and immediately after by the digital PET/CT scan, or vice versa. The investigators wish to determine if image quality is equivalent with the digital PET/CT scanner.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Patient is ≥ 18 years old at the time of the scan
Patient provides written informed consent
Patient is referred for standard (F18 FDG; F18 NaF; Ga68 DOTATATE) or research (68Ga PSMA or 68Ga RM2) PET/CT
Patient is capable of complying with study procedures
Patient is able to remain still for duration of imaging procedure (approximately 60 minutes total for both PET/CT)

Exclusion criteria

Patient is pregnant or nursing

Treatment and study plan

Digital PET/CT scan

Diagnostic Test

The Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at Stanford has installed the first ever GE-made digital PET/CT scanner worldwide. The investigators wish to determine if the digital PET/CT scanner offers equivalent image quality as the standard PET/CT scanner.

Primary outcomes

Diagnostic Image Quality

Time frame: an expected average of 3 hours

Diagnostic image quality will be determined using a 5-point Likert Scale that reads:

5 - Diagnostic: Excellent diagnostic image quality;

4 - Diagnostic: Good diagnostic image quality;

3 - Diagnostic: Acceptable diagnostic image quality;

2 - Sub-optimal diagnostic: image quality with limited additional clinical information;

1 - Non-diagnostic: non-diagnostic image quality
