NCT03685539

Brief Summary

This trial studies how well dual energy computed tomography (DECT) works in imaging patients with solid organ cancer that has spread to the brain. Imaging techniques, such as DECT, may help find and diagnose tumor cells and find out how far the tumor cells have spread in the brain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Best diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction parameters

    A repeated-measures analysis of variance with the Dunnett post hoc test will be used to determine the significance of the differences in the signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast-to-noise (CNR) measurements at the optimal parameter setting, compared with all other parameter settings.

    Up to 2 years

  • Accuracy of CT

    A Bland-Altman analysis will be used to show the agreement of number of lesions between optimal parametrized CT and the one of standard of care magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    Up to 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (DECT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Within 7 days before the standard Gamma Knife MRI, patients undergo DECT scan over 6 seconds at 1.5, 5, 10, and 20 minutes after receiving the contrast agent.

Procedure: Dual-Energy Computed Tomography

Interventions

Undergo DECT

Also known as: DECT
Diagnostic (DECT)

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adult patient with pathology-proven solid organ cancer
