P5.15 EVALUATION OF AORTIC 18F-NAF TRACER UPTAKE DETECTED USING PET/CT IN PREDICTING AORTIC CALCIFICATION OVER A 4-YEAR FOLLOW-UP PERIOD
Background: Uptake of 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) in the aortic wall may reflect metabolically active areas of calcification, an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality when detected by computed tomography (CT). The aim of this project was to determine if 18F-NaF uptake in th...
