PET/CT: The Fastest Growing Diagnostic Imaging Modality

Associates in Medical Imaging

Today, PET/CT is the fastest growing diagnostic imaging modality, and for good reason. PET/CT scans combine two different types of imaging capabilities in a single procedure using one machine. Unlike other imaging modalities such as MRI and CT, PET/CT scans show metabolic changes at the cellular level in an organ or tissue.

SNMMI: FAPI PET/CT predicts progressive pulmonary fibrosis better than FDG

AuntMinnie

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT demonstrated heightened and extensive uptake in interstitial lung disease (ILD) compared to FDG in a cohort of 97 patients with ILD. To evaluate the value of FAPI PET/CT versus FDG in ILD diagnoses, Fang and colleagues conducted both within one week and assessed various PET/CT parameters.
