Combined 18F-NaF/18F-FDG PET/MRI for Detection of Skeletal Metastases

This clinical trial studies the use of sodium fluorine-18 (18F-NaF) plus fluorine-18 (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/ whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) to detect skeletal metastases in patients with stage III-IV breast cancer or stage II-IV prostate cancer.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
