Purpose: The study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 (Ga-FAPI) and F-FDG PET/CT for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) in patients with various types of cancer.
Methods: The study enrolled 113 patients with suspected peritoneal malignancy, each of whom underwent Ga-FAPI and F-FDG PET/CT scans. Lesions in all patients were confirmed through pathology or radiological follow-up. The evaluation and comparison of diagnostic performance, visual scores, maximum standardized uptake value (SUV), mean tumor-to-background ratio (TBR), and the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score were conducted.
Results: Compared to F-FDG, Ga-FAPI PET/CT presented higher sensitivity, negative predictive value, and accuracy for detecting PC on a patient-level (100% vs. 93.2%, 100% vs. 22.22% and 93.81% vs. 86.73%, respectively). Semi-quantitative evaluation revealed that Ga-FAPI PET/CT had significantly higher SUV and TBR for PC [(6.06 ± 3.04 vs. 4.82 ± 2.75, P = 0.001) and (8.50 ± 5.01 vs. 2.92 ± 1.67, P < 0.001)]. The PCI score for PC was higher than the PCI score (11.28 ± 7.10 vs. 5.69 ± 5.15, P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Ga-FAPI has demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy compared to F-FDG PET/CT in detecting PC with various types of cancer, particularly gastric cancer. Additionally, Ga-FAPI has shown significantly higher uptake and PCI score in PC compared to F-FDG, indicating its potential importance in clinical.

Background: Esophageal ulcers can arise not only from malignant lesions but also from benign diseases, such as tuberculosis. These ulcers may mimic the radiological features of esophageal malignancy or tuberculosis on PET/CT, leading to diagnostic challenges.
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a month-long history of progressive painful swallowing, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

Imaging is used for lymphoma detection, Ann Arbor/Lugano staging, and treatment response assessment. [F]FDG PET/CT should be used for most lymphomas, including Hodgkin lymphoma, aggressive/high-grade Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and many indolent/low-grade NHLs such as follicular lymphoma. Apart from these routinely FDG-avid lymphomas, some indolent NHLs, such as marginal zone lymphoma, are variably FDG-avid; here, [F]FDG PET/CT is an alternative to contrast-enhanced CT at baseline and may be used for treatment response assessment if the lymphoma was FDG-avid at baseline.

The study investigates the prognostic value of [F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A total of 346 IPF patients who underwent FDG PET/CT between 2007 and 2020 were analyzed. Pulmonary FDG uptake [target to background ratio (TBR)] was binarized by optimal cut-off value based on survival analysis.

Objective: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been the primary treatment method for patients with local advanced breast cancer. A pathological complete response (pCR) to therapy correlates with better overall disease prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) have been widely used to monitor the response to NACT in breast cancer.
