ABSTRACT
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder that leads to a decline in bone microarchitecture, predisposing individuals to catastrophic fractures. The current standard of care relies on detecting bone structural change; however, these methods largely miss the complex biologic forces that drive these structural changes and response to treatment. This review introduces sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as a powerful tool to quantify bone metabolism. Here, we discuss the methods of 18F-NaF PET/CT, with a special focus on dynamic scans to quantify parameters relevant to bone health, and how these markers are relevant to osteoporosis.
