New PET scan could slash radiation by 100x for bone disease detection
NCT ID NCT07284563
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new PET imaging method that uses 10 to 100 times less radiation than current scans to detect bone issues like cancer, infection, or arthritis. About 200 adults will receive a tiny amount of radioactive tracer and be scanned on a high-sensitivity machine. The goal is to see if the new technique still produces clear images while greatly reducing radiation exposure.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years. * Ability to provide informed consent and comply with study procedures. * For female participants: Must not be pregnant or breastfeeding; Negative pregnancy test required for women of childbearing potential. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who have exceeded NRC regulation for annual radiation exposure from prior research-related scans, including this study (50 millisievert \[mSv\] total). * More than four prior enrollments in this study. * Participants with severe claustrophobia, chronic pain, or musculoskeletal conditions that prevent completion of the PET scan * Medication \& Prior Treatment Exclusions * Concurrent treatments that may interfere with radiotracer uptake as determined by the Principle Investigator. * Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (negative pregnancy test required) * Inability to provide informed consent * Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may compromise participant safety or study integrity.
