Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: A 78-year-old man with prostate cancer was referred for 18 F-NaF PET/CT for assessing bone metastases. An 18 F-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.
