Arms and Interventions
Go to

Arm Intervention/treatment
[18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose
Scanning Procedure: Non-diagnostic Computed Tomography (CT) scan followed by a Diagnostic Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan.
 Radiation: [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose
With each Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT)scan an intravenous administration of radioactive glucose (FDG)is given. This is a weight dependent dosage.
Other Name: FDG (18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose)


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To confirm the diagnostic effectiveness of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG) as compared to the gold standard of histopathological diagnosis. [ Time Frame: Three years ]
    The primary outcomes of sensitivity and accuracy of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies will be obtained by comparing results of the PET scan with the gold standard of histopathological diagnosis when those results are available. Comparison to correlative imaging follow-up, and assessment of efficacy based on feedback from referring physicians will be used in the absence of pathologic data.
