Sodium 18F-fluoride (18F-NaF) PET/CT imaging is a promising imaging technique for the
assessment of atherosclerosis but is hampered by a lack of validated quantification …

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 …

Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valvular disease in Western countries, while
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the foremost cause of death and disability …

The evidence on atherosclerosis imaging with 18F-sodium-fluoride (NaF) positron emission
tomography (PET) is hotly debated because of the different patient characteristics …

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 …

AIM: To investigating the relationship between thoracic and cardiac 18 F-Natrium-Fluoride
(18F-NaF) uptake, as a marker of ongoing calcification and cardiovascular risk factors …

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, distribution, and topographic
relationship of vascular 18F-sodium fluoride uptake and arterial calcification in major …

Purpose We examined the literature to elucidate the role of 18F-sodium fluoride (NaF)-PET
in atherosclerosis. Methods Following a systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase …
