Impact of Personal Characteristics and Technical Factors on Quantification of Sodium ¹⁸F-Fluoride Uptake in Human Arteries: Prospective Evaluation of Healthy Subjects

Abstract

The prospective evaluation of 89 healthy subjects demonstrated that quantification of arterial 18F-NaF uptake is affected by blood activity, injected dose, and PET/CT system. Therefore, blood activity, injected dose, and PET/CT system should be considered to generate accurate estimates of arterial 18F-NaF uptake.
