[Biodistribution of (18)F-NaF as an imaging agent in osteoporotic rats for position emission tomography].
To investigate the biodistribution of (18)-NaF as an imaging agent for position emission tomography (PET) in rat models of osteoporosis. ⋯ (18)-NaF is an excellent skeletal imaging agent for clinical skeletal blood flow and metabolism measurements. The uptake of (18)-NaF has significant difference between normal and osteoporotic bone tissues, indicating the value of (18)-NaF PET for study of osteoporosis.
