Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Thyroid cancer/nodal metastasis
Participants will have thyroid cancer and nodal metastasis in the neck, supraclavicular, axillary and/or inguinal area.
Cerenkov luminescence imaging.
Cerenkov luminescence imaging will be obtained from MSKCC patients who are scheduled for routine FDG PET scan or 131I therapy that emit a continuum of ultraviolet and visible light from the decay of certain radionuclides.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Participant must meet one of the following:
* Patients with thyroid cancer scheduled for thyroid ablation therapy with 131I
* Patients with any tumors with (existing or suspected) nodal metastases in the neck, supraclavicular, axillary and/or inguinal region who are scheduled to receive a clinical FDG PET/CT scan
* Patients with metastatic prostate cancer who are schedule for Xofigo therapy with 223Ra
* Patients scheduled to receive a standard of care 66Ga-DOTA-TATE or \[18f\]-PARPi PET scan in the Nuclear Medicine Clinic
* Patient undergoing Lu-DOTA TATE treatment in the Nuclear Medicine Clinic
Exclusion Criteria
* Any other past medical, physiological or demographic concerns. This includes any patients with skin blemishes that are present at the dermis over the tumor, as these are of particular interest for use of this technique. This also includes open wounds on the area of interest.
