Molecular Imaging of Fibroblast Activity After Myocardial Infarction Using a 68Ga-Labeled Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor, FAPI-04

Conclusion: 68Ga-FAPI-04 represents a promising radiotracer for in vivo imaging of post-MI fibroblast activation. Noninvasive imaging of activated fibroblasts may have significant diagnostic and prognostic value, which could aid clinical management of patients after MI.
