FAPI PET/CT
Istanbul
FAPI PET/CT in Istanbul is available at 2 hospitals in the Voumed network.
FAPI PET/CT is an advanced oncological imaging technique used to detect cancer and assess how far it has spread. It uses a tracer called FAPI, short for fibroblast activation protein inhibitor, which targets the supportive cells that surround and feed many tumours rather than the sugar uptake measured by a standard PET scan. Labelled with a radioactive isotope and combined with PET and CT, it produces detailed three-dimensional images that can highlight tumours and their spread, sometimes more clearly than conventional methods, and is especially useful for cancer types that are hard to see on a routine scan.
