Background: Bone metastases of lung cancer typically indicate disease progression and poor prognosis. Early and accurate detection is crucial for staging, treatment planning, and prognostic evaluation. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of gallium 68-labeled fibroblast-activation protein inhibitor-04 ([Ga]Ga-FAPI-04) and fluorine 18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging in detecting bone metastases in lung cancer.

Dimeric fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) radioligands are promising candidates for theranostic applications because of their enhanced tumor uptake and prolonged retention compared to monomeric radioligands. Several linker strategies have been investigated to connect two FAPI motifs and a radiometal chelator in a dimer design. In this study, we report the development of a novel dimeric FAPI radioligand, [Ga]Ga-, which utilizes a triazine core as a trifunctional linker.

Background: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI PET/CT for detecting lesions in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL-NT), and to compare its diagnostic performance with [18F]FDG PET/CT in clinical practice.

Patients And Methods: Between December 2022 and December 2023, 19 patients with pathologically confirmed ENKTL-NT at West China Hospital underwent baseline [68Ga]Ga-FAPI and [18F]FDG PET/CT. Lesions were documented by each modality, and detection rates compared at both patient and lesion levels.

Objective: Gallium-68-labelled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor ([ Ga]Ga-FAPI) is a tumour-stromal imaging agent showing complementary value alongside fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) in cancer imaging. This study investigated the feasibility of a same-day dual-tracer positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) protocol with [ Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 following [F]FDG in patients presenting with negative or equivocal [F]FDG.

Methods: Patients with negative or equivocal [F]FDG findings underwent dual-tracer PET/CT (named FDG-mixed FAPI PET/CT, abbreviated to mFAPI PET/CT) on the same day, with [ Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 administered 4.
