New breast PET camera aims for sharper images, but study never started
NCT ID NCT04016818
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study aimed to test a new breast-dedicated PET camera that can see details as small as 1 millimeter. Researchers planned to inject a radioactive tracer into people with breast cancer and see if the camera could produce clear images. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
