Abstract
A method of measuring bone blood flow has been developed using 18F sodium fluoride and positron emission tomography. The blood flow levels are in line with those obtained experimentally from microsphere embolisation. This investigative method could be applied to elucidate a number of clinical questions involving bone perfusion.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
