New imaging may spot leukemia hiding outside the bone marrow
NCT ID NCT02390635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether advanced scans (PET/MR, PET/CT, and whole-body MR) can find leukemia that has spread outside the bone marrow in people newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 77 participants will receive these scans to see how well they detect hidden disease. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide treatment.
