Evaluation of aortic (18)F-NaF tracer uptake using PET/CT as a predictor of aortic calcification in postmenopausal women: A longitudinal study

INTRODUCTION: Aortic calcification as detected by computed tomography is associated with arterial stiffening and is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Uptake of (18)F-sodium fluoride ((18)F-NaF) in the aortic wall reflects metabolically active areas of calcification. T...
