68Gallium-labelled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor uptake in joints: a single-center cohort analysis of 268 patients
FAPI-uptake in joints is frequent and can occur in presence as well as in absence of joint degeneration. We suggest that FAPI-PET/CT complements conventional musculoskeletal imaging by providing information on synovial activity, the exact triggers of which remain to be elucidated.
