New PET scan slashes radiation 100-Fold for safer diagnosis

This study aims to see if a new, highly sensitive PET scanner can use 10 to 100 times less radiation than current scans while still producing clear images. Researchers will test this on 200 healthy volunteers and people with Parkinson's disease, neuroendocrine tumors, or gliomas. Participants receive a single injection of a radioactive tracer and are scanned for up to 3 hours. The goal is to make diagnostic imaging safer without losing quality.
