4-[18F]Fluoroglutamine PET/CT in Imaging Patients With Newly Diagnosed Lung Cancer or Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules

Description:

This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET) imaging utilizing 18F-(2S,4R)4-fluoroglutamine, a glutamic acid derivative, to image patients with Newly Diagnosed Lung Cancer or Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules. \[18F\]Fluoroglutamine PET may provide additional information that help diagnose lung cancer.
