18 F-Sodium Fluoride Uptake in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: The SoFIA 3 Study
Fluorine-18-sodium fluoride ( F-NaF) uptake is a marker of active vascular calcification associated with high-risk atherosclerotic plaque. In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the authors assessed whether F-NaF positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) predicts AAA...

Zusammenfassung: | Fluorine-18-sodium fluoride (
F-NaF) uptake is a marker of active vascular calcification associated with high-risk atherosclerotic plaque.
In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the authors assessed whether
F-NaF positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) predicts AAA growth and clinical outcomes.
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 |
