Increased 68Ga-FAPI Uptake in Chronic Cholecystitis and Degenerative Osteophyte

Clin Nucl Med. 2021 Jul 1;46(7):601-602. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003621.

Abstract

68Ga-FAPI PET/CT has been used in the evaluation of a variety of malignancies. An increasing number of case studies on FAPI uptake in nonmalignant diseases is also gaining support and enthusiasm. We present a case of asymptomatic chronic cholecystitis and degenerative osteophyte detected incidentally by 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT.
