NCT ID NCT07463625
First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET scan using [18F]FET can better locate tiny pituitary tumors that cause Cushing's disease. Standard MRI scans miss these small tumors in about 30% of cases. The study will enroll 20 adults with Cushing's disease to see if the PET scan improves tumor detection and helps guide surgery, potentially reducing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures.
