New camera part may sharpen cancer scans
NCT ID NCT07572318
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new collimator (a filter that directs gamma rays) on a special camera can produce clearer whole-body images for cancer patients. About 18 adults with multiple known cancer lesions will receive standard scans using technetium-99m, lutetium-177, or iodine-131. The goal is to see if the new collimator improves image sharpness and quality without changing the patient's care.
