New scanner aims to sharpen body scans
NCT ID NCT07272161
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study at Mayo Clinic tests a new SPECT/CT scanner called StarGuide NextGen. About 100 people who are already scheduled for a nuclear medicine scan will get an extra research scan. Doctors will compare the image quality to standard scans to see if the new system is better for future use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- StarGuide NextGen SPECT/CT system (imaging device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to sharper, more reliable nuclear medicine scans for diagnosing and monitoring diseases.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study testing image quality, not a treatment. The new scanner may not prove better than current ones, and results may not apply to all patients.
