Badanie FAPI-PET/CT i FDG-PET/CT w diagnostyce ostrej fazy choroby Peyroniego u pacjentów

Peyronie's Disease is a condition that affects the penis, causing painful erections and the formation of a hard lump or nodule. This study focuses on the acute phase of this disease, which occurs within the first six months of symptom onset. The purpose of the study is to determine if certain imaging techniques can detect active tissue changes and inflammation in the penis during this phase.

The study will use two types of scans: FAPI-PET/CT and FDG-PET/CT. These scans are advanced imaging methods that help visualize active fibroblast tissue and inflammation. FAPI-PET/CT involves the use of a special solution called [68Ga]FAPI-46, which is injected into the body to highlight specific areas during the scan. The FDG-PET/CT scan uses a different substance to achieve similar imaging results. Both scans aim to provide detailed images that can help in understanding the changes occurring in the penis due to Peyronie's Disease.

Participants in the study will undergo these scans to see if they can effectively detect the active changes associated with the disease. The study will help determine the value of these imaging techniques in diagnosing and understanding the acute phase of Peyronie's Disease. The findings could potentially lead to better diagnostic tools and treatment options for those affected by this condition.
