Clinical Evaluation of PET-MRI Versus PET-CT in Pediatric Oncology Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating fludeoxyglucose F 18, positron emission tomography, and 2 other interventions for Childhood Cancer. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies how well positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works compared to PET/computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing younger patients with cancer. PET/MRI and PET/CT are procedures that combine the pictures from a PET scan and an MRI scan or a CT scan. The PET and MRI scans or PET and CT scans are done at the same time with the same machine. The combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself. It is not yet known whether PET/MRI works better than PET/CT in diagnosing younger patients with cancer.
