18F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography
Coronary atherosclerosis is a progressive disease that involves vascular inflammation, development of cholesterol burdened atheroma, mechanisms of injury and repair, and subsequent calcification (1). Coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected with cardiac computed tomography has been shown to correlate well with overall plaque burden and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events (2...
متن کاملAortic Valve 18F-Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common valvular disease in the developed world. The disease prevalence is projected to reach 4.5 billion worldwide in 2030, underscoring its significance as a worldwide public health burden. Valve replacement is the only established therapy, but despite recent advances, both surgical and transcatheter approaches still have substantial morbidity a...
متن کاملData on analysis of coronary atherosclerosis on computed tomography and 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography
This article contains the data showing illustrative examples of plaque classification on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and measurement of 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake in coronary atherosclerotic lesions on positron emission tomography (PET). We divided the lesions into one of three plaque types on CCTA (calcified plaque, non-calcified plaque, partially calcified plaque...
متن کاملIdentifying active vascular microcalcification by 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography
Vascular calcification is a complex biological process that is a hallmark of atherosclerosis. While macrocalcification confers plaque stability, microcalcification is a key feature of high-risk atheroma and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Positron emission tomography and X-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging of atherosclerosis using (18)F-sodium fluoride ((18)F-NaF) h...
متن کاملImaging of Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury Using Sodium [18F]Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Rats and Humans
Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) using sodium [18F]fluoride (Na[18F]F) has been proven to be a promising hot-spot imaging modality for myocardial infarction (MI). We investigated Na[18F]F uptake in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of rats and humans. Sodium [18F]fluoride PET/CT was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats that had IRI surgery, and it readily demonstrated pro...
