Study: NCT04165343

Intervention type: RADIATION
Intervention: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) on EXPLORER
Description: Positron Emission Tomography (PET): Your blood sugar level will be checked by a finger stick before the PET scan. A small amount of radioactive tracer (approximately 0.5 teaspoons) will be injected into a vein in your arm before the imaging test. You will be asked to lay on your back on the EXPLORER scanner platform with both of your arms over the head during the duration of the test. A small amount of blood (1 tablespoon) will be collected after the test. This test will last for up to one (1) hour. This is a research test. Although the results may be available it cannot be used for clinical care. If any incidental findings are noted, it will be reported to you.

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Description: MRI will be performed that can measure both the liver stiffness or fibrosis by a method called MR elastography (MRE) and the amount of fat deposited in the liver by MR proton density fat fraction (MR-PDFF). You will be asked to lay on your back on the scanner platform with both of your arms over the head during the duration of the test. MRE and MRI-PDFF are Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) approved tests and the results will be available to you. This test will last up to one (1) hour.

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Echocardiogram and Electrocardiogram
Description: You will have baseline echocardiogram images and electrocardiogram (ECG) taken and will be asked to walk on a treadmill, which will increase in elevation and speed every 3 minutes until you can go no longer. This usually takes 9 to 12 minutes. Immediately after exercise, echocardiogram images and ECG will be taken again. The total time you will be in the stress lab including prep time and recovery is about 60 minutes. Wear comfortable or exercise clothing and walking/running shoes. You will be asked to not eat or drink (except for water) for 4 hours prior to the time of your test. Please drink water the day of the test so you are not dehydrated. This is an FDA approved test and the results will be available to you.
