1 We then evaluated the relationship between 18F-NaF uptake (using the maximum target-to-background ratio, TBRmax, and the maximum blood-subtracted 18F-NaF activity, bsNaFmax, which was obtained by subtracting the SUVmax of each calcified plaque lesion and NaF-avid site from the SUVmean in the right atrium blood pool) and the change in calcified plaque volume and characteristics obtained after 1 year.
