In a clinical trial conducted at the Hoag Family Cancer Institute in Irvine, CA, researchers tested the technique versus CT bone scans or FDG-PET/CT and found that it detected an equivalent number of cases. Researchers are conducting ongoing research to define the clinical scenarios where the tracer may be most helpful.
