Study Summary

This study intends to use a prospective, observational, self-controlled, multi-center study design to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FAPI PET/MRI imaging for the evaluation of systemic fibrosis in MF patients based on the results of bone marrow pathological biopsy, and to analyze the relationship between imaging results and clinical prognosis.

Study Description

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a pathological process characterized by dysplasia of bone marrow fibrous tissue, clonal proliferation of potential stem cells, inflammatory changes in the bone marrow microenvironment, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. Bone marrow histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis, but because of the invasive nature of the puncture, repeated examination is not possible to dynamically monitor the disease process. In addition, due to the focal nature of puncture biopsy, it can not accurately reflect the systemic disease. 18F-FDG PET/CT provides visual assessment of MF, but its diagnostic effectiveness decreases as MF progresses. 18F-FAPI PET/MRI characterizes fiber activation processes in a variety of diseases. This study intends to use a prospective, observational, self-controlled, multi-center study design to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FAPI PET/MRI imaging for the evaluation of systemic fibrosis in MF patients based on the results of bone marrow pathological biopsy, and to analyze the relationship between imaging results and clinical prognosis.
