Abstract
Objective: 18 F-sodium fluoride (NaF) position emission tomography (PET) activity correlates with high-risk plaque. We examined the correlation between 18 F-NaF PET activity and extent of calcification (microcalcification and macrocalcification) in coronary arteries. Approach and Results: Eighteen ex vivo human coronary arteries were imaged with 18 F-NaF PET/CT, and target to background ratios were analyzed from 101 plaques. Histopathologic...
