Summary

Intestinal stricture is a complication of Crohn's disease (CD), which is thought to be the result of chronic transmural inflammation combined with a dysregulated wound-healing process. While inflammatory strictures may respond to anti-inflammatory treatment, fibrotic strictures are usually anti-inflammation resistant, requiring further endoscopic balloon dilation or surgical intervention. Therefore, to determinate the inflammatory or fibrotic nature of intestinal stricture is a key step in the treatment of CD. 18F-FDG is a radiotracer reflecting the glucose metabolism of disease and is usually accumulated in inflammatory disease. 68Ga-FAPI is a novel radiotracer that specifically targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP). FAP is a membrane glycoprotein expressed on activated fibroblasts, which are key cells in the process of fibrotic intestinal stricture of CD. In this study, we hypothesis that the inflammatory or fibrotic nature of intestinal stricture can be non-invasively evaluated by 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in patients with CD.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT

Participants will undergo 18F-FDG (0.12-0.15mCi/kg) and 68Ga-FAPI (3-6mCi) PET/CT on two consecutive days. At least 6 hours of fast is required for 18F-FDG PET scan, while no dietary control is necessary for 68Ga-FAPI PET scan. If the patients are on metformin, discontinuation of 48 hours is required before 18F-FDG injection to minimize the bowel uptake. If the patient is planned for surgical resection of one or more stricture (s), the scans have to be completed within a maximum period of 30 days before the surgery.
