T-based tissue segmentation to assess knee joint inflammation and reactive bone formation assessed by 18F-FDG and 18F-NaF PET/CT: Effects of age and BMI.

CONCLUSION: The PET-based molecular imaging probes along with the CT-based segmentation techniques revealed an association between aging and the inflammatory activity of the soft tissue compartment. Similarly, a positive correlation was noted between BMI and inflammation and reactive bone f ormation of the knee joint compartments. PMID: 30006643 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
