4D PET/CT in Diagnosing Participants With Lung and Colorectal Cancer With Liver and Lung Metastasis

Completed

Conditions studied: Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Liver, Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Lung, Stage IV Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVA Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVB Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVC Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8

In brief

This trial studies how well 4 dimensional (D) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) works in diagnosing participants with lung or colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and lung. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, may help find and diagnose disease and find out how far the disease has spread. But the motions made by breathing can reduce the image quality of the scan. Adjusting the scanner to 4D may allow for more breathing motion may improve the quality of the PET/CT images.
