Case 186: Myocardial Fibroblast Activation Imaging
FAP uptake in the myocardium is always abnormal and should be reported and then worked up for ischemic or non-ischemic etiologies of fibrosis, if the patient is not a known case of cardiac disease.
59-years old with mucinous adenocarcinoma of colon came for a FAPI-PET/CT. Abnormal uptake was seen in the myocardium.
The video below explains the case, the concept of FAP uptake in the myocardium, what it means and what the future holds for FAPI-PET in the myocardium.
