First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study at Mayo Clinic tests a new SPECT/CT scanner called StarGuide NextGen. About 100 people who are already scheduled for a nuclear medicine scan will get an extra research scan. Doctors will compare the image quality to standard scans to see if the new system is better for future use.
