Gallbladder activity on sodium fluoride positron emission tomography/computed tomography bone scan

We incidentally identified gallbladder activity on (18)F sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) bone images in five patients. Variable degree of bowel activity is usually seen on NaF PET/CT images, and its mechanism is unknown. Gallbladder activity in our cas...

description We incidentally identified gallbladder activity on (18)F sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) bone images in five patients. Variable degree of bowel activity is usually seen on NaF PET/CT images, and its mechanism is unknown. Gallbladder activity in our cases may indicate that hepatobiliary excretion of the (18)F NaF is the reason for bowel activity on NaF PET/CT images. However, excretion of radiotracer through bowel may also contribute to the bowel activity.
