Here we describe the value of PET/ computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging using 68Ga-labelled FAP-Inhibitors (68Ga-FAPI-PET/CT) and their clinical potential for staging and radiotherapy planning in 12 ACC patients (7 primary, 5 recurrent).Patients and methodsPatients underwent contrast enhanced staging CT (ceCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (ceMRI) before 68Ga-FAPI - PET/CT. PET-scans were acquired 10, 60 and 180 minutes after administration of 150–250 MBq of 68Ga-labelled FAPI tracers. SUVmax and SUVmean values of ACCs and healthy organs were obtained using a 60% of maximum iso-contour.

Immunohistochemistry showed FAP-expressing CAFs in the tumor.
