Quantification of Skeletal Muscle Perfusion in Peripheral Artery Disease Using < sup > 18 < /sup > F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography Imaging

CONCLUSIONS: 18F-NaF PET imaging quantifies perfusion deficits that correspond to clinical stages of PAD and represents a novel perfusion imaging strategy that could be partnered with atherosclerosis-targeted 18F-NaF PET imaging using a single radioisotope injection.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03622359.PMID:38353265 | DOI:10.1161/JAHA.123.031823
