Summary

This study tests a special PET/CT scan that uses a tracer called FAPI-74 to find fibrosis (scar-like tissue) in the body. It includes 45 adults with conditions like head and neck cancer or tuberculosis that can cause fibrosis. The goal is to see how well the scan shows fibrosis, which could help doctors better diagnose and monitor these diseases.
