The aim of this study was to quantify regional bone blood flow and [18F] fluoride ion influx
with [18F] fluoride ion PET and correlate the results with specific static and dynamic indices …

Conclusion: With PET and [18F] fluoride, local bone blood flow and fluoride influx rate can
be quantified in patients in vivo. Metabolically active zones have an increased influx rate …

A dual positron emission tomography (PET) tracer study with [18F] fluoride and the freely
diffusible tracer [15O] H2O was performed to measure the capillary transport of [18F] fluoride …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between 18F-fluoride bone metabolic
measures obtained by nonlinear regression (NLR), Patlak analysis, and standardized …

18F-Fluoride PET allows noninvasive evaluation of regional bone metabolism and has the
potential to become a useful tool for assessing patients with metabolic bone disease and …

Purpose We evaluate a new quantitative method of acquiring and analysing 18 F positron
emission tomography (PET) studies that enables regional bone plasma clearance (K i) to be …

Using our recently reported whole body PET imaging technique, we performed whole body
PET studies of the skeletal system with [18 F] fluoride ion in 19 patients with a range of …

The planning of research studies requires an understanding of the minimum number of
subjects required. The aim of this study was to evaluate different methods of analyzing 18F …

Purpose Currently available diagnostic techniques can be unreliable in the diagnosis of
delayed fracture healing in certain clinical situations, which can lead to increased …

The functional imaging technique of dynamic fluorine-18 labeled sodium fluoride positron
emission tomography (18 F-NaF PET) allows the quantitative assessment of regional bone …
