18F-Sodium Fluoride Uptake in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: The SoFIA3Study
Background Fluorine-18-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake is a marker of active vascular calcification associated with high-risk atherosclerotic plaque. Objectives In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the authors assessed whether18F-NaF positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomo...

Zusammenfassung: | Background Fluorine-18-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake is a marker of active vascular calcification associated with high-risk atherosclerotic plaque. Objectives In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the authors assessed whether18F-NaF positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) predicts AAA growth and clinical outcomes. Methods In prospective case-control (n = 20 per group) and longitudinal cohort (n = 72) studies, patients with AAA (aortic diameter >40 mm) and control subjects (aortic diameter |
