NCT ID NCT06630845

First seen Apr 03, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study compares a newer MRI-based scan (DWI) with the standard FDG PET scan to see how well each finds cancer spread in people with metastatic cancer. About 30 adults with cancer that has spread will get both scans, and researchers will compare the results. The goal is to see if DWI could be a good alternative to PET, which uses radiation.
