ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different organs in healthy people work together, with the goal of improving how doctors use PET/CT scans for diagnosing patients. PET/CT scans are special imaging tests that help doctors see inside the body to find any health issues. By understanding how organs interact in healthy individuals, researchers hope to make these scans even more effective for everyone.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult between the ages of 65 and 74, and you must be in good health. Unfortunately, people under 18, those with cancer, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and anyone who has a high blood sugar level or can't lie still for about 65 minutes cannot join. If you do qualify and decide to participate, you can expect to undergo a PET/CT scan, which is a safe and non-invasive procedure. This research is important because it aims to improve how we use imaging technology to help detect health issues in the future.
