Clinical Evaluation and Deployment of a Clinical PET/MR System with a Data Registry

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess and deploy a new PET/MR platform following the same quality control method as was done at other Mayo Clinic sites, i.e. Rochester and Arizona.

The secondary purpose is to initiate a data registry for the PET/MR studies allowing us to capture some basic information about the indications, findings, and relevant imaging and non-imaging biomarkers for the studies conducted. This will allow us to see trends in utilization as well as create preliminary data to inform future (IRB approved) investigations.
