Abstract

Introduction: The imaging technique of 18F-fluoride positron emission tomography (18F-PET) allows the non-invasive assessment of regional bone metabolism at clinically important sites such as the hip and lumbar spine and allows the measurement of a number of parameters relating to bone metabolism, for example, regional bone turnover (Ki) and bone blood flow (K1). Purpose: To compare the differences between the Ki, K1 and standardized uptake values (SUV) at the hip and lumbar spine. Methods: Twelve healthy postmenopausal women had age ranging from 52.3 to 70.6 years, bone mineral density (BMD) T-score ranging from −
