Positron emission tomography for Bone<unk> , as an in vivo tracer technique, allows the measurement of the regional concentration of radioactivity proportional to the image pixel values averaged over a region of interest (ROI) in bones. Positron emission tomography is a functional<unk>  technique that uses 18FNaF radiotracer to visualise and quantify regional bone metabolism and blood flow. 18FNaF has been used for<unk>  bones for the last 60 years. This article focuses on the pharmacokinetics of 18FNaF in bones, and various semi-quantitative and quantitative methods for quantifying regional bone metabolism using 18FNaF<unk>  images.
