Clin Nucl Med. 2016 Jan;41(1):79-80. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001057.

Abstract

A 78-year-old man with prostate cancer was referred for 18F-NaF PET/CT for assessing bone metastases. An 18F-NaF PET/CT study was performed after the intravenous administration of the radiopharmaceutical. Five days later, a second study was done after oral administration of the radiopharmaceutical as part of a research protocol.
