Article Synopsis
- F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and F-sodium fluoride (NaF) are new PET tracers used to evaluate inflammation in atherosclerosis and the calcification process, respectively.
- FDG has been utilized for years to assess heart viability and is now important in diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis, while PET techniques can also help identify early signs of atherosclerosis to inform interventions.
- NaF-PET/CT is emerging as a more effective method than FDG for monitoring plaque formation and can reveal coronary artery disease that FDG imaging may miss due to normal heart activity interference.
