Abstract Purpose The role of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET CT scan is not well documented in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients. Patients with radioiodine refractory PTC and high thyroglobulin levels need PET/CT scan which is generally done by 18F FDG. In the current study, the diagnostic performance of 68Ga FAPI and FDG PET/CT scans were compared head to head in patients with radioiodine refractory PTC. Method Fourteen patients with negative whole body Iodine scans and high thyroglobulin levels underwent whole body PET scans with, respectively, 120–310 and 145–370 MBq 68Ga FAPI-46 and…
