Comparison of 68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG PET/CT in a Patient With Cholangiocellular Carcinoma: A Case Report

Clin Nucl Med. 2020 Jul;45(7):566-567. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003056.

Abstract

The present study compared Ga-FAPI and F-FDG PET/CT in a patient with cholangiocellular carcinoma. In this case, Ga-FAPI PET shows much higher tumor-to-background contrast of primary tumor and reveals more metastatic lesions, especially the micrometastases of bones, than F-FDG PET.
