F18PET/CT Versus TC-MDP Scanning to Detect Bone Mets

The primary objective is to compare the diagnostic performance of 18F- Fluoride PET/CT scanning to that of conventional bone scanning for detecting cancer that has spread to the bone (bone metastasis). The intent of the study is to determine whether 18F-Fluoride PET/CT will lead to improved treatment and patient outcomes.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
