Potential application of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT for diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis.
Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology(2024)
Abstract
Detecting cardiac sarcoidosis; a potentially life-threatening condition is challenging and requires a multimodality imaging approach using echocardiography, PET/CT and CMR. Although 18F-FDG is the recommended PET tracer for evaluating cardiac sarcoidosis, it is limited by physiological cardiac FDG uptake and requires stringent patient preparation/ dietary modifications before imaging. We hereby present a case of cardiac sarcoidosis demonstrating myocardial FAPI uptake on cardiac PET, highlighting the potential role of 68Ga-FAPI PET in the evaluation of cardiac sarcoidosis.
