New Full-Body PET scanner promises faster scans, less radiation
NCT ID NCT07263815
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a new total body PET scanner (Omni TB) with conventional PET in 25 adult cancer patients. The new scanner can image the whole body at once with higher sensitivity, potentially allowing shorter scan times and lower radiation doses. Researchers will assess whether image quality is as good or better than current scanners.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PET/CT scanner (GE Omni Total Body 128cms)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this scanner could allow faster, lower-radiation PET scans without losing image quality, improving patient comfort and safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage imaging study (25 participants) focused on feasibility, not treatment. The new scanner may not prove superior in routine clinical use.
