Can PET help diagnose neurosarcoidosis?

FDG-PET imaging shows promise for use as a diagnostic criterion for neurosarcoidosis, with a recent case series illustrating the approach was effective when gold-standard approaches were not, according to a group of researchers in Berlin.

FAPI-PET shows promise in head and neck cancer patients

In a comparative imaging trial, FAPI-PET/CT outperformed FDG-PET/CT in detecting primary tumors in patients with head and neck cancer.

PET/CT and MR images of a 72-year-old woman. (A) F-18 FDG-PET images (left and top) and PET/CT images (bottom) shown in coronal, sagittal, and axial views (from left to right), demonstrated a metastatic lymph node of the right neck with intensive metabolic activity (black arrow, SUVmax, 30.1) but presented no evidence for primary tumor. (B) Ga-68 FAPI-PET images (top and right) and PET/CT images (bottom), shown in axial, sagittal, and coronal views (from left to right), also detected metastatic lymph node with high Ga-68 FAPI tracer activity (black arrow, SUVmax, 16.3). There was intensive uptake of Ga-68 FAPI in palate (red arrow, SUVmax, 11.3). (C) T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI also presented no evidence for primary tumor. Subsequent surgery confirmed mucoepidermoid carcinoma of palate. Image courtesy of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

I-123 MIBG–negative and F-18 MFBG–positive scans showing multiple lesions in 9-year-old male with relapsed high-risk, multiple-relapse neuroblastoma (stage IV disease) receiving chemoimmunotherapy. (A) I-123 MIBG uptake is seen in lower lumbar vertebrae (arrows). Positive uptake with F-18 MFBG PET (B; black arrows) in skull, spine, pelvic bones, femora, and left tibia (B and C; blue and white arrows). Bone marrow biopsy was positive for disease. Follow-up I-123 MIBG imaging (D; left) and spine MRI (D; right) performed six weeks later showed diffuse disease in skull and spine, corresponding to F-18 MFBG–avid sites.
