Although 18F-labeled NaF was the first widely used agent for skeletal scintigraphy, it quickly
fell into disuse after the introduction of 99mTc-labeled bone-imaging agents. Recent …

Abstract 18 F-sodium fluoride (NaF) as an imaging tracer portrays calcium metabolic activity
either in the osseous structures or in soft tissue. Currently, clinical use of NaF-PET is …

We evaluated the bone metabolic activity in patients with renal osteodystrophy using
positron emission tomography and [18F] fluoride ion. Eight patients had secondary …

In 20 untreated patients with idiopathic or postmenopausal osteoporosis, kinetic studies of
skeletal blood flow (using 18F) and bone turnover (using 85Sr) were combined with dynamic …

This publication is the fifth and the last in a series dedicated to occupational intakes of
radionuclides (OIR), which replaces the Publication 30 series (ICRP, 1979a, b, 1980, 1981 …

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are broadly defined as diseases or injuries of the joints,
bones, muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, supporting soft tissues, cartilage, and spinal …

The bioavailability of fluoride (F) from NaF and Na2PO3F dentifrices was studied in detail in
young volunteers. The method used was based on a comparison of plasma and urinary data …

The only clinically applicable method for the quantitative measurement of blood flow to the
skeleton which has so far been developed rests on the assumption that the initial extraction …

Aim To compare the effects of high-dose therapy (HDT consisting of high-dose
chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation) and conventional-dose …

The prevalence of metabolic bone diseases particularly osteoporosis and its precursor,
osteopenia, continue to grow as serious global health issues today. On a worldwide …
