PET-CT Imaging With PCD-CT
Conditions: Head and Neck Cancer (H&N)
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 20
Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina
Location: Medical University of South Carolina Charleston South Carolina
Summary
This pilot study evaluates the clinical utility of photon counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) in PET-CT imaging for head and neck cancer. Twenty adult patients undergoing standard-of-care PET-CT will also receive PCD-CT imaging. The study compares image quality and diagnostic confidence between conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) and PCD-CT for attenuation correction and anatomical imaging.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:
* Non-diagnostic PET-CT
