Imaging pancreatic beta-cells with PET neuroimaging agent 11C-PHNO
- Study HIC#:2000021287
- Last Updated:01/23/2025
We are conducting a PET imaging study to develop a way to measure the number of insulin secreting cells in the pancreas. This study is intended for people diagnosed with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes who are otherwise in good physical health and well controlled on insulin. The study requires 2-3 visits over several weeks - Screening, 1 PET Scan and 1 MRI scan.

Trial Purpose and Description
As per HIC-approved protocol, 1411014915 (Specific Aim 1), this proposal will continue to explore whether an imaging agent already in use for human neuroimaging, specifically 11C-PHNO, would also be useful for measuring BCM.
