New scan could replace invasive test for Cushing's disease diagnosis
Diagnosis ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study compares a new, non-invasive PET-MRI scan to the standard invasive test (IPSS) for finding pituitary tumors in people with Cushing's disease. About 43 adults with confirmed Cushing's will get both tests to see which is more accurate. The goal is to make diagnosis safer…
