DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2017.11.053
Abstract: Background Fluorine-18–sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake is a marker of active vascular calcification associated with high-risk atherosclerotic plaque. Objectives In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the authors assessed whether 18F-NaF positron emission tomography (PET) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/mnm.0000000000000734
Abstract: Objective Coronary artery fluorine-18-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake reflects coronary artery calcification metabolism and is considered to be an early prognostic marker of coronary heart disease. This study evaluated the relationship between coronary artery 18F-NaF uptake… read more here.
