Abstract

Atherosclerosis serves as the primary cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with its pathological processes encompassing lipid deposition, inflammatory responses, and calcification. Traditional imaging techniques, such as computed tomography angiography and MRI, are primarily utilized for detecting arterial stenosis and calcified plaques, yet they face challenges in accurately assessing plaque activity and instability. 18F-sodium fluoride PET (18F-NaF PET) offers a novel approach for plaque activity and stability assessment by labeling and quantifying arterial wall calcification. This article reviews the advances in the application of 18F-NaF PET in the assessment of atherosclerosis.

18f -氟化钠PET在动脉粥样硬化评价中的应用进展。

动脉粥样硬化是心血管疾病（cvd）的主要原因，其病理过程包括脂质沉积、炎症反应和钙化。传统的成像技术，如计算机断层血管造影和MRI，主要用于检测动脉狭窄和钙化斑块，但它们在准确评估斑块活动和不稳定性方面面临挑战。18f -氟化钠PET （18F-NaF PET）通过标记和量化动脉壁钙化，为斑块活性和稳定性评估提供了一种新方法。本文就18F-NaF PET在动脉粥样硬化评价中的应用进展进行综述。

期刊介绍： Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
