- Determine feasibility of using 18F-DCFPyL to detect cancer [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The primary objective of this project is to test the feasibility of 18F-DCFPyL to detect cancer. The visual assessment of suspected tumor will be considered positive if there is sustained radiotracer activity over expected soft tissue or blood pool physiologic activity levels and recorded as mild (above blood pool), moderate (above blood pool, but less than liver), or intense (at or above the liver). Feasibility will be determined based on number of positively recognized regions of interest.
