Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA
- Up to 30 subjects will take part in the study, chosen from sequential incoming clinical patients who are scheduled for PET/CT studies of the torso and who have had or will have a diagnostic CT within one week of the PET/CT study, without regard to disease. The number of subjects selected for study per week will depend on patient load and availability of scanner and technologist). Approximately an equal number of males and females will be selected by alternating each selection between male and female. The selection of subjects asked to participate will be random, in the sense that whenever technologist and analysis time is available, the next subject scheduled for a whole body scan will be asked to participate.
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA
- The only exclusion criteria will be subjects with respiratory difficulties.
- Children under the age of 12.
