Summary

This study is testing whether a special PET scan using a tracer called [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor can accurately detect acute heart inflammation caused by transplant rejection, sarcoidosis, or certain cancer drugs. About 69 adults will be scanned, and the results will be compared to standard tests. If successful, this could offer a non-invasive way to diagnose these serious heart conditions earlier.
