NCT ID NCT03346954
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested whether a combined PET/MRI scan using a radioactive tracer can better locate tiny pituitary tumors that cause Cushing's disease. Standard MRI often misses these tumors, leading to invasive tests or risky surgery. The study involved 33 adults with confirmed Cushing's disease to see if this new scan could improve detection and guide treatment.
