[18F]NaF PET/CT Imaging of Iliac Bones to Assess Bone Turnover
[<sup>18</sup>F]NaF uptake was higher in the right iliac bone and declined with age, particularly in females. The positive correlation between SUVmean and BMI; and the negative correlation between SUVmean and physical activity suggest metabolic influences on bone turnover. [<sup>18</sup>F]NaF PET/CT may serve as a tool for assessing bone metabolism and turnover in asymptomatic individuals.
