Abstract
Coronary arterial 18F-NaF uptake is related to total plaque burden, coronary event history, and specific features of coronary atherosclerosis based on CT analysis. 18F-NaF PET/CT, in combination with cardiac CT, may provide a new molecular imaging approach to identify high-risk patients and coronary atherosclerotic lesions.
