Quantitative evaluation of normal spinal osseous metabolism with 18F-NaF PET/CT

Conclusion We assessed the metabolic activity of the spine’s osseous tissues with 18F-NaF PET using a global assessment approach in healthy men. Our study provides evidence of differences in spinal metabolism as related to weight, but not age. Our study offers a foundation for future larger studies in symptomatic populations.
