Abstract
ABSTRACT
18 F-FAPI-42 PET/CT is a novel imaging tool targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP). We describe the 18 F-FAPI-42 PET/CT findings of a left ventricular mural thrombus in a 50-year-old man who had chest tightness. The 18 F-FAPI-42 PET/CT showed annular uptake at the apex of the left ventricle, but there was no uptake of 18 F-FDG. This case showed that abnormal 18 F-FAPI-42 uptake in the heart may be associated with mural thrombus and should be evaluated clinically.
