The investigators investigated the associations between the imaging parameters of ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI and ¹⁸F-FDG dual-tracer PET/CT and concomitant interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM), developed a novel diagnostic model to predict DM complicated with ILD, and conducted external validation of this model. Meanwhile, the investigators compared the predictive performance of the imaging-only model with that of the classic clinical model and the clinical-radiological collaborative model.
