Clinical Research

Naviscan partners with leading hospitals and universities to conduct clinical trials and other research pertaining to PEM. Patients interested in participating in a research study are encouraged to contact the hospital/university directly, using the provided links and/or contact information below.

Current Research/Trials

  • Histologic Assessment of the Difference Between 18F-2-fluoro-2deoxy_D-glucose Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Breast

The purpose of this study is to compare the value of FDG Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) with contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breast for patients with breast cancer.  This study will also perform a special pathology.test to compare the FDG PEM and contrast enhanced breast MRI images with the results from the standard of care breast surgery.  This may teach us more about the biology of each breast tumor.

  • Pre-Surgery Positron Emission Mammography in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer (at Lower Dose of FDG)

The purpose of this study is to determine optimal, lowest dose of radioactive tracer required for Positron Emission Mammography (PEM), and the accuracy and reliability of PEM in pre-surgical evaluations for patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer anticipating breast conserving surgery but identified to have a second unsuspected breast cancer by MRI.

  • Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and Stereo Navigator Biopsy Guidance Accessory for the Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
  • This study seeks to evaluate the ability to perform breast biopsies using positron emission mammography (PEM) and the Stereo Navigator biopsy guidance accessory to determine if PEM and Stereo Navigator help obtain results in fewer clinical visits than if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography and/or ultrasound are utilized.

  • Role of Naviscan PEM Scanner in Evaluating Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Patients with Breast Cancer

This study seeks to determine whether or not the PEM scanner can be used to determine response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients earlier in the cycle than with contrast-enhanced breast MRI.

  • Staging of Axillary Lymph Nodes using the Naviscan PEM Scanner in Patients with Breast Cancer

This study seeks to evaluate if the Naviscan PEM scanner can assess Axillary Lymph Node involvement preoperatively in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer and to compare the results with bilateral breast MRI and/or axillary ultrasound.

  • Positron Emission Mammography and Standard Mammography in Women with Dense Breast Tissue or Who are at High Risk of Breast Cancer

This study seeks to enroll women who are scheduled to undergo a screening mammogram and have either dense breast tissue, are at high risk for breast cancer and are from one of the following ethnic backgrounds: Hispanic, Haitian Creole, African American or Caucasian.  Participants will undergo a conventional two-view mammogram and positron emission mammography (PEM) scan.  Immediately following imaging, patients are asked to complete a questionnaire on their impression of a standard mammogram versus PEM.  The purpose of this study is to compare PEM to mammography for the detection of malignant lesions in women with dense breast tissue and/or who are at high risk of breast cancer.
