Abstract

Due to suspicion of lymphoma or lung cancer 1 week later, an SP 18 sp FDG (B-D) plus a SP 68 sp Ga-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor ( SP 68 sp Ga-FAPI) PET/CT scan (E-G) were performed. However, given an already known diagnosis of granulomatous disease like tularemia, SP 68 sp Ga-FAPI PET/CT might be suitable to assess extent and activity of chronic inflammation.
