Assessment of Inflammation in Pulmonary Artery Hypertension by 68Ga-Mannosylated Human Serum Albumin.

Conclusions: 68Ga-NOTA-MSA PET can help diagnose PAH and monitor the inflammatory status by imaging the degree of macrophage infiltration into the lung. These observations suggest that 68Ga-NOTA-MSA PET has the potential to be used as a novel noninvasive diagnostic and monitoring tool of PAH.
