Pilot Study for PET/MR Imaging of Covid-19

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Brain Diseases; Covid19

• Registration Number: NCT04954248
• Lead Sponsor: Stanford University

Brief Summary

The primary goal of this project is to study the feasibility of a prototype brain-dedicated PET insert for an MR scanner for simultaneous acquisition of PET/MR images of metabolism and perfusion in Covid-19 negative and positive/once positive subjects. This study serves as a pilot study for establishing an imaging protocol for combined PET and MR derived functional information as well as MRI acquired anatomical information.

Detailed Description

This study is a non-randomized non-treatment study. The intention of this work is an assessment of the PET insert technology, and not, for example, to perform a treatment assessment or drug assessment. This work will actively recruit 10 individuals (5 Covid-19 negative and 5 Covid-19 previously positive in the last 180 days) to perform imaging of the brain with an FDA-approved radiotracer.
