The specific aim of the HYPOTHESIS GENERATION study is: 1\. To obtain and compare parametric as well as traditional static PET/CT images and determine the number of lesions identified on each type of scan.

D-WB PET/CT
Instead of the usual procedure of having the injection of the radiotracer in the waiting room and having to wait 60 minutes before being moved to the scanner room for imaging, the study participants will be injected with the radiotracer already laying on the scanner bed and the scan will commence immediately. Therefore, in this study the patients are still only being scanned once, but we are gathering PET information in a different way.
