Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the utility of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) combined with gadoxetate disodium in patients with clinical suspected hepatic malignancies (lesion diameter ≤ 3.0cm), with histopathological findings obtained from biopsy or resected surgical specimens, or follow-up results as reference standards.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Clinical and biological data, including the course of disease, underlying liver disease (hepatitis or cirrhosis), serum alpha-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels were collected from each patient.
2. PET image analysis: Each patient underwent both FAPI and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/MR, including T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI. Record and evaluate the following indicators: the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of lesions, the target-to-background ratio (TBR) which was calculated by dividing the SUVmax of the lesion by the background SUVmean obtained from nontumor liver tissue.
3. Pathological analysis: Hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical analyses will be performed. Immunohistochemical analysis will be used to investigate the expression of glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) and fibroblast activation protein (FAP).
