Overview
This is a single arm prospective trial that evaluates whole body diffusion weight imaging (DWI) compared to 18F-fludeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography with Magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) in participants with known metastatic cancer.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Correlation of DWI and FDG to detect disease.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Inter-reader variability of DWI interpretation by region.
- OUTLINE
Participants will be imaged at a single timepoint using whole body DWI concurrent with FDG PET/MRI within 60 days of receiving a non-FDG PET (either PET/CT or PET/MRI). There will be an optional PET/MRI performed within six months of the original study. Participants will be followed up through a medical records review for up to two years.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- Non FDG PET imaging study scheduled to be performed within 60 days (before or after) of the research PET/MRI.
- Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to sign it.
- Diagnosis of metastatic cancer.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Unlikely to comply with protocol procedures, restrictions and requirements and judged by the Investigator to be unsuitable for participation.
- Individuals with contraindications to MRI. This will be determined through review of the UCSF MRI screening form by qualified site personnel
