摘要

Purpose

To evaluate the role of experimental FAPI PET/CT in inflammatory bowel diseases.

Methods

First clinical papers about FAPI PET/CT in inflammatory bowel diseases were retrieved in scientific literature and commented in this short review, compared with conventional clinical and radiological examinations (e.g. CT, MRI and ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT).

Results

Only few first-in-human trials have been published until now about the role of experimental FAPI PET/CT in inflammatory bowel diseases, showing interesting accuracy data and possible impact on clinical management in patients with Crohn’s disease.

Conclusion

Larger studies are needed to confirm and expand the role of this diagnostic tool in clinics.
