Background Positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-fluoride)
to detect microcalcification may provide insight into disease activity in coronary …

Coronary 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-fluoride) uptake is a marker of both atherosclerotic
disease activity and disease progression. It is currently unknown whether there are rapid …

Objective The feasibility of a fluoride positron emission tomography/computed tomography
(PET/CT) scan for imaging atherosclerosis has not been well documented. The purpose of …

Abstract Purpose 18 F-sodium fluoride (18 F-NaF) has shown promise in assessing disease
activity in coronary arteries, but currently used measures of activity–such as maximum target …

Objective: The coronary calcium score (CCS) predicts cardiovascular disease risk in
individuals with diabetes, and rate of progression of CCS is an additional and incremental …

Background and aims 18 F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography (18 F–NaF
PET) non-invasively detects micro-calcification activity, the earliest stage of atherosclerotic …

Background Reliable methods for predicting myocardial infarction in patients with
established coronary artery disease are lacking. Coronary 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) …

The complex biology of atherosclerosis has been approached by functional imaging from
multiple directions, each exploring the specific and distinctive etiopathogenetic mechanisms …

Objective Coronary artery fluorine-18-sodium fluoride (18 F-NaF) uptake reflects coronary
artery calcification metabolism and is considered to be an early prognostic marker of …

Objectives: With combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (CT),
we investigated coronary arterial uptake of 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) and 18F …
