Fig. 9 — NaF-PET maximum intensity projections (MIP) portraying active calcification in a 36-year-old man (A) and a 76-year-old man (B). Systemic osteoblastic metabolism was assessed by measuring NaF uptake at the femoral neck and in the whole skeleton. The mean standardized uptake value (SUV_mean) in the femoral neck and whole skeleton of the younger subject was 6.7 and 5.2, respectively, whereas the SUV_mean in the femoral neck and whole skeleton of the older subject was 1.8 and 2.4, respectively.
