NCT ID NCT03484884

First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests a new imaging method called Cerenkov luminescence to take pictures of thyroid cancer and tumors in the neck, collarbone, armpit, or groin. About 102 adults with thyroid cancer or other cancers will receive a standard PET scan or radioactive therapy, then have this new imaging done. The goal is to see if this technique can reliably detect cancer, which may lead to better diagnosis without extra radiation.
