Quantitative aortic Na[18F]F positron emission tomography computed tomography as a tool to associate vascular calcification with major adverse cardiovascular events
This study highlights the potential clinical utility of Na[<sup>18</sup>F]F-PET/CT as an imaging tool to predict the risk of MACE. Clinical validation of this novel proof-of-concept method is needed to confirm these results and expand the clinical context.
