Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This research study is a Pilot study (a small preliminary study to assess the feasibility of a larger, more in depth study involving a new test or procedure) and is being done to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of PET/MRI in the evaluation of cancer. PET/MRI is a FDA approved technology that is currently being studied to assess its accuracy and utility in the diagnosis and management of a variety of diseases and patient populations. The focus of this particular study will be to compare the performance of PET/MRI in its ability to detect and characterize cancerous tumors using positron emission topography and computed tomography (PET/CT) as a reference standard.
