New radiotracers may gain ground in FDG territory

PET/CT with the radiotracer 18F-FDG may have met its match at cancer detection in two new “FAPI” tracers based on gallium-68. The acronym stands for fibroblast activation protein inhibitor, and in a recent trial the new tracers equaled or bettered FDG PET/CT on image quality, required no fasting and yielded images in less time than FDG PET/CT.
