Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This trial studies how well 68Ga-DOTATATE digital PET/CT work in diagnosing soft tissue sarcoma. 68Ga-DOTATATE is a radiotracer that may improve image quality of PET imaging. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research, 68Ga-DOTATATE. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body. 68Ga-DOTATATE digital PET/CT may work better in imaging patients with soft tissue sarcomas.

- Diagnostic (68Ga-DOTATATE dPET/CT)
- description
- Patients receive gallium Ga 68-HA-DOTA-TATE intravenously (IV) and undergo dPET/CT over 60 minutes up to two weeks after starting standard chemotherapy. Beginning 24 hours after gallium Ga 68-HA-DOTA-TATE dPET/CT, patients also receive fludeoxyglucose F-18 IV and undergo dPET/CT over 60 minutes..

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Regions of pathologically increased tracer uptake
- timeFrame
- At completion of imaging
- description
- Positron emission tomography (PET) images will be evaluated visually for regions of pathologically increased tracer uptake that could not be attributed to normal physiologic activity. The non-contrast enhanced computed tomography images are used for attenuation correction and for fusion with PET images to allow for anatomical - localization of PET findings.
