Evaluating 18F-FAPI PETMRI and 18F-FDG PETCT Imaging for Diagnosis and Monitoring in Myelofibrosis Patients A Prospective Observational Study

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying myelofibrosis MF, a disease involving abnormal bone marrow fibrosis, stem cell growth, and inflammation, which is difficult to monitor due to invasive biopsy methods. This observational study aims to assess the usefulness and accuracy of two imaging techniques, 18F-FDG PETCT and 18F-FAPI PETMRI, in evaluating systemic fibrosis in MF patients. The study will also explore how these imaging results relate to patients clinical outcomes. Participants diagnosed with primary or secondary myelofibrosis will undergo both 18F-FDG PETCT and 18F-FAPI PETMRI scans. The study design is prospective, observational, self-controlled, and conducted across multiple centers. Imaging, hematologic, cytogenetic, and pathological assessments will be performed within two weeks of each other. Patients must be stable and able to cooperate with the imaging procedures. During the study, participants will be monitored over an average of two years to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 18F-FAPI PETMRI and compare clinical prognoses based on imaging and pathology results. The study will include assessments such as imaging scans and clinical follow-up. Safety and adherence to protocol will be tracked, with informed consent required. The goal is to improve noninvasive monitoring of myelofibrosis progression and treatment effects.
