| Core Tip |
We evaluated, in 78 patients who underwent whole body 18F-Natrium Fluoride (18F-NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography, the 18F-NaF uptake in different segments of thoracic aorta and within the myocardium, as a measure of ongoing molecular calcification. In particular, we tested the hypothesis of a correlation between thoracic aorta uptake and car-diovascular risk (CVR). We thus assessed 18F-NaF uptake (TBR) in different CVR groups (high, medium and low) and its correlation with absolute CVR value. TBR stratified the three CVR classes, mostly in the descending aortic segment and in the myocardium. Thoracic aorta uptake correlated with CVR and with myocardial uptake.
