Description

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to test new ways to improve the usefulness of the world's first total-body positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanner (EXPLORER) by collecting data from PET scans using one of three different imaging agents: 18F-PSMA; 18F-FES; or, 68Ga DOTATATE. These imaging agents are approved by the FDA to be used for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (18F-PSMA), neuroendocrine tumor (68Ga DOTATATE), or breast cancer (18F-FES).

Eligibility

For people ages 18 years and up

18F-PSMA (n=3) and 68Ga-PSMA (n=3)

Inclusion criteria:

  • Persons >18 yo with suspected prostate cancer metastasis
  • Prior imaging study (CT, and/or MRI and/or Bone scan and/or Fluciclovine scan) suspicious for metastatic disease, obtained within 4 months from the research scan date.

    68Ga DOTATATE (n=3) or 64Cu-DOTATATE (n=3)

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Persons > 18 yo suspicious for or diagnosed with somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs)
  • Prior DOTATATE PET/CT scan suspicious for tumor obtained not earlier than 4 months from the research scan date.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Recent administration of long-acting somatostatin analogs

Exclusion Criteria for all participants:

  • Adults unable to consent
  • Pregnant/lactating persons
  • Prisoners
  • Unable to lie supine for up to 90 minutes at different timepoints in the PET scanner
  • Uncontrolled claustrophobia
