Study Description

Brief Summary: The aim of the project is to undertake clinical development of a hybrid compact gamma camera that combines gamma ray and optical imaging. It is an extension of the previous pilot study using a newly developed handheld hybrid compact gamma camera in clinical arena.

Detailed Description: This is a single visit study involving patients who have been referred to the Nuclear Medicine Clinic at Nottingham University Hospitals as part of a standard diagnostic test. Each patient's participation will be approximately 30 minutes and not normally longer than one hour. The study will run for 11 months commencing February 2017 and ceasing at the end of December 2017. As part of their routine care, patients will be sent a letter booking their diagnostic test through a Nuclear Medicine Clinic. Once they have confirmed that they will be attending this diagnostic test, one of the clinical study team trained to take consent will contact the patient by phone. At this point they will be informed of the reason for the study, why they have been approached and the study schedule. If they express interest in participating they will then be sent a copy of the patient informed consent forms. They will be given a minimum of 24 hours before formally signing consent at the study site immediately before participating. Study plan: Following the administration of the routine radiopharmaceutical and the standard wait before clinical diagnostic imaging, the patient will have research images acquired using the hybrid prototype gamma camera. All research images will be anonymised and the additional imaging performed as part of this study will fit in with the patient and the diagnostic test schedules. Should the patient wish to stop at any point, the research study procedure will be terminated. Once these images have been acquired then the patient will go home or proceed with the requirements of their diagnostic test. 75 participants will be recruited for this study.
