Systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of fapi imaging in detecting brain metastases, suggesting improved outcomes over fdg pet/ct.

FAPI-based imaging detected 87.9% of brain metastatic lesions, significantly higher than the 46.3% detection rate of FDG-PET.
Among 24 studies, FAPI tracers showed an odds ratio of 10.78 compared to FDG, reflecting their superior diagnostic capabilities.
FAPI tracers exhibited higher tumor-to-background ratios than FDG PET/CT, with a standardized mean difference of 1.51.
The findings indicate that FAPI-based imaging could outperform traditional imaging methods for assessing brain metastases.

Sadeghpour et al. (2025) studied this question.
