Inclusion Criteria
Patients, older than 18 years, who will receive and 18F-FDG PET-CT scan and have a superficial tumour, <3 cm from surface, that shows sufficient uptake of 18F-FDG.
Exclusion Criteria

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main question is whether we ara able to image the uptake of 18F-FDG in a<br /><br>human tumour, in-vivo, with a stand alone EMCCD camera. The primary study<br /><br>parameter is if we can subjectively distinguish the tumour from the background.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Secondary study parameters are the signal to noise ratio between the tumour and<br /><br>healthy tissue. With that we take the actual uptake and the depth of the tumour<br /><br>into account.</p><br>
