A 70-year-old woman with a gallbladder mass was enrolled in our clinical trial of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT study in tumors. Increased tracer uptake was noted in the gallbladder. In addition, focal uptake was localized in a lesion beside the falx cerebri. According to the location and radiological and clinical characteristics, a diagnosis of meningioma was made.

A 67-year-old woman presented with a 12 × 20 × 24-cm adnexal tumor. Ultrasonography revealed an irregular, multilocular tumor, with increased flow in the solid components, and ascites-features that are consistent with ovarian cancer. The patient underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT, both of which showed low uptake values.

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) and [F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) provide complementary biological information, and FAPI/FDG dual-tracer imaging clinical application is increasing recently. However, optimal protocols for FAPI/FDG dual-tracer positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and PET/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging are still under investigation. Due to its high sensitivity, total-body PET/CT allows for imaging with minimal tracer activity and supports the creation of new dual-tracer PET/CT imaging protocols.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness and practicality of same-day Ga-FAPI-first imaging versus F-FDG imaging for diagnosing gastrointestinal cancers in 65 patients, exploring both immediate and 2-day procedures.
- Results showed that the same-day procedures significantly reduced waiting times and maintained safety with lower radiation doses, while both techniques displayed similar diagnostic performances.
- Ga-FAPI imaging was found to have higher accuracy and resulted in improved staging for 21.54% of patients, indicating its potential benefit in clinical practice.
Evaluation of Fibroblast Activation Protein Expression Using Ga-FAPI46 PET in Hypertension-Induced Tissue Changes.

Chronic hypertension leads to injury and fibrosis in major organs. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is one of key molecules in tissue fibrosis, and Ga-labeled FAP inhibitor-46 (FAPI46) PET is a recently developed method for evaluating FAP. The aim of this study was to evaluate FAP expression and fibrosis in a hypertension model and to test the feasibility of Ga-FAPI46 PET in hypertension.

Amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disorder characterized by the extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils, derived from abnormally folded proteins. These fibrils disrupt tissue structure and function, leading to organ dysfunction. The condition encompasses various subtypes, each associated with distinct precursor proteins and clinical manifestations.
