FAPI PET/CT Scan in Bangalore

What is a FAPI PET/CT Scan?

An FAPI PET/CT scan is a cutting-edge nuclear medicine imaging technique that offers a unique approach to cancer diagnosis and management. Here’s a breakdown of its components:
FAPI (Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor): This refers to a radiotracer that targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP). FAP is a molecule overexpressed by cancerassociated fibroblasts (CAFs) – supportive cells within the tumor microenvironment
FAPI (Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor): This refers to a radiotracer that targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP). FAP is a molecule overexpressed by cancerassociated fibroblasts (CAFs) – supportive cells within the tumor microenvironm
CT Scan (Computed Tomography): This X-ray based scan creates detailed cross-sectional images of your body’s anatomy
By combining these scans, an FAPI PET/CT scan provides valuable information about the tumor microenvironment. It can reveal not only the presence and location of cancer but also the activity level of CAFs, which can be linked to tumor aggressiveness.

Uses Of FAPI PET/CT Scan

Since CT scan uses multi directional x-ray images to pull out the internal organ structure, it can help our doctors to uncover a number of ailments in the body.
