Analysis of metastatic bone lesions on sequential 18F FDG and 18F NaF scans in advanced genitourinary cancers

Conclusion: NaF imaging had increased bone metastasis detection compared to FDG imaging for both blastic and lytic skeletal metastases. However, both modalities failed to identify all bone marrow lesions noted on CT correlative images. A combination of both scanning types may be optimal for early bone marrow metastasis detection, enabling accurate early staging and management of patients.
