F-18 FDG and Ga-68 FAPI-46 images of a 51-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth pattern in right upper lobe. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection PET images. The lesion had F-18 FDG uptake below blood pool level but was strongly Ga-68 FAPI-46-positive. CT-guided biopsy led to pathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, and the patient was treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy because of functional inoperability.
