Abstract:
Early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis with the initiation of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs is important to prevent future disability. Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis lacks the classical immunological markers, thus imposing clinical diagnostic difficulty. In this case, we reported 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT findings of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis in a 60-year-old lady. This case illustrates how 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT aids in the diagnosis of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis.
