Summary
The goal of the current study is to evaluate the potential of the selected PET tracers to
detect sarcoidotic lesions in lungs. The tracers are already in clinical use for the
detection of certain inflammatory processes or malignant tumors, and their targets present
similarities with molecular mechanisms of sarcoidosis.
