Abstract

Regional bone metabolism measured using F-18-fluoride PET was assessed in 72 postmenopausal women classified as normal, osteopenic, or osteoporotic. Lower values of regional bone formation activity at the lumbar spine were seen in osteoporotic women, whereas global markers of bone formation were significantly increased.
