Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to gain initial experience imaging HNC patient using a new PET camera, a 1mm spacial resolution. The goal is to understand image quality of the system and to see how it works in a clinical environment.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S): Gain initial experience imaging head/neck cancer patients using a novel PET camera comprising two opposing panels with 1 millimeter spatial resolution. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE(S): 1. Determine the radioactive dose and scan time required for this novel 1 millimeter (mm) resolution clinical PET camera. 2. Images obtained with the 1 mm resolution PET camera will be compared to conventional PET imaging (which will serve as gold standard) for image quality and lesion/node visualization.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of HNC
- •Patient scheduled to undergo surgery for HNC
- •Scheduled to have a PET/CT study on a conventional PET/CT system

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Acquiring PET images of HNC patients with the 1 mm resolution PET imaging device.
Time Frame: Day 1
PET images of HNC patients with the 1 mm resolution PET imaging device will be qualitatively accessed whether the camera can visualize the primary lesion, including heterogeneity and lymph nodes will be assessed.
Secondary Outcomes
- Measure image quality of the 1 mm resolution PET imaging device(Day 1)
