First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at how well two different PET-CT scanners can find very small cancer spots (less than 1 cm) in 24 cancer patients. Patients were grouped by body size (BMI). Each person had two scans, one on each machine. The goal was to see which scanner finds more tiny lesions, which could help doctors catch cancer earlier.
