New scan may spot cancer in bones without a needle

NCT ID NCT07248033

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test whether a combined SPECT/CT scan can accurately tell the difference between harmless and cancerous bone lesions. About 120 people with suspected bone problems will get the scan, and the results will be checked against biopsies or follow-up imaging. If the scan works well, it could become a safer, faster way to diagnose bone lesions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could give doctors a non-invasive way to tell benign from malignant bone lesions using a single scan, reducing the need for biopsies.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The scan's accuracy may not be high enough to replace biopsy, and results may not apply to all patients.
