This study intends to use a prospective, observational, self-controlled, multi-center study design to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FAPI PET/MRI imaging for the evaluation of systemic fibrosis in MF patients based on the results of bone marrow pathological biopsy, and to analyze the relationship between imaging results and clinical prognosis.
Myelofibrosis (MF) is a pathological process characterized by dysplasia of bone marrow fibrous tissue, clonal proliferation of potential stem cells, inflammatory changes in the bone marrow microenvironment, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. Bone marrow histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis, but because of the invasive nature of the puncture, repeated examination is not possible to dynamically monitor the disease process. In addition, due to the focal nature of puncture biopsy, it can not accurately reflect the systemic disease. 18F-FDG PET/CT provides visual assessment of MF, but its diagnostic effectiveness decreases as MF progresses. 18F-FAPI PET/MRI characterizes fiber activation processes in a variety of diseases. This study intends to use a prospective, observational, self-controlled, multi-center study design to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FAPI PET/MRI imaging for the evaluation of systemic fibrosis in MF patients based on the results of bone marrow pathological biopsy, and to analyze the relationship between imaging results and clinical prognosis.

RECRUITINGThe diagnostic efficiency of 18F-FAPI PET/MRI imaging in myelofibrosis
The diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FAPI PET/MRI in myelofibrosis was evaluated by visual scoring. The pattern of 18F-FAPI accumulation was analyzed on maximum-intensity projection images for each patient, and the extent of 18F-FAPI accumulation was graded on a 5-point scale（0-4） to assess changes in the extent of bone marrow involvement .The higher of the score, maybe the more severe in the myelofibrosis.The changes in diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FAPI PET/MRI imaging in myelofibrosis were compared with the gold standard of bone marrow biopsy by Kappa analysis.
