Summary

This study compares a new, faster total-body PET/CT scanner (uEXPLORER) to standard PET/CT scanners in 180 adults with lung cancer, lymphoma, or melanoma. The goal is to find the shortest scan time that still produces clear, high-quality images for cancer staging. Participants will undergo both types of scans to see if the new machine can work just as well in less time.
