Sodium Fluoride PET/CT Bone Scans Now Available at Community Radiology

 

Advances in PET/CT Imaging:  
 

Community Radiology is excited to now provide Sodium Fluoride PET/CT studies at all of our PET/CT locations. This is a new, state-of-the-art technology, that is superior to conventional bone scans. It is designed specifically for detecting bone metastases.

 

Advantages of Sodium Fluoride:
 
  • Higher sensitivity and specificity than conventional bone scans.
  • Superior image quality with higher spatial resolution.
  • Detects both osteoblastic and osteolytic metastases.
  • Higher accuracy in differentiating benign from malignant lesions.
  • More easily tolerated by patients. Shorter waiting time (45 minutes vs. 3 hours). 
        Shorter scanning times.
  • With the addition of CT as part of the study most of the time, no further imaging is required
        (X-rays, MRI).
