Correlation of fluorine 18-labeled sodium fluoride uptake and arterial calcification on whole-body PET/CT in cancer patients
Conclusion
Our finding of a weak but significant positive correlation between 18F-NaF uptake and arterial calcification suggests that 18F-NaF PET/CT could provide complementary information of active microcalcification for atherosclerosis evaluation in cancer patients.
