Coaxial short axis views of the aortic valve from a patient with moderate aortic stenosis demonstrated established regions of macrocalcification on baseline computed tomography (CT) scans (left blue panel). Fused 18F-fluoride positron emission tomography (PET) and CT (middle blue panel) showed increased 18F-fluoride activity in the distribution of established calcium deposits and adjacent to regions of calcification. At one year, novel calcification developed in the regions corresponding to baseline 18F-fluoride activity (right red panel).
