Dual Energy Computed Tomography (CT) in Finding Bone Metastases in Patients With Cancer

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Malignant Neoplasm, Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm to the Bone

In brief

This clinical trial studies dual energy computed tomography (CT) in finding cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the bone (bone metastases) in patients with cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as dual energy CT, may help find and diagnose bone metastases and may be more accurate compared to single energy CT alone.
