Longitudinal analysis of atherosclerotic plaques evolution: An 18F-NaF PET/CT study
Abstract Purpose 18 F-NaF-PET/CT can detect mineral metabolism within atherosclerotic
plaques. To ascertain whether their 18 F-NaF uptake purports progression, this index was …

18F-NaF uptake by atherosclerotic plaque on PET/CT imaging: inverse correlation between calcification density and mineral metabolic activity
Several studies have highlighted the role of vascular 18F-NaF uptake as a marker of
ongoing calcium deposition. However, accumulation of 18F-NaF is often inconsistent with …
