Delayed NaF-PET enhances coronary plaque detection
By Wayne Forrest
In life, timing is everything. With sodium fluoride (NaF) PET, interpreting results three hours after tracer injection instead of the customary one-hour delay improved image quality and standardized uptake values, leading to significantly better coronary plaque detection, according to a September  13 article in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
