From: Vessel-by-vessel analysis of lower extremity 18F-NaF PET/CT imaging quantifies diabetes- and chronic kidney disease-induced active microcalcification in patients with peripheral arterial disease

Fig. 2

Representative 18F-NaF PET/CT imaging of the lower extremities in a patient with PAD and DM. Fused coronal 18F-NaF PET/CT imaging of both lower extremities demonstrated heterogenous macrocalcification detected by CT imaging and heterogenous arterial uptake of 18F-NaF detected by PET. Focused axial images at the level of the knee further revealed that increased 18F-NaF uptake was localized to arterial regions undergoing active microcalcification and were not yet fully detectable by CT imaging (denoted by white arrows)
