18F-FAPI PET/CT imaging in pneumoconiosis: a pilot study on a novel tool for early diagnosis and guiding the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis
<sup>18</sup>F-FAPI PET/CT imaging may hold promise for identifying active pulmonary fibrosis and monitoring its progression in pneumoconiosis, suggesting a potential clinical opportunity for targeted anti-fibrotic treatment. These preliminary findings warrant further investigation in larger studies.
