U.S., Oct. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07860346) titled 'Development of an Improved Method of Measuring Total Body Bone Perfusion Using Total-body PET/CT' on Sept. 25.
Brief Summary: Broken bones (fractures) are a common problem in several serious health conditions, such as osteoporosis, kidney failure, and sickle cell disease. To better understand and treat these diseases, researchers need a reliable way to measure how much blood flows through our bones.
In animal studies, a special scan called PET (Positron Emission Tomography) has been used successfully to measure bone blood flow. This scan uses a safe, low dose of a radioactive substance called sodium fluoride, which helps show how bl...
