OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the ultra-dose Na18F dPET protocol feasibility for skeleton imaging in a canine model with reduced radiation dose and preserved quantitative characteristics. We hypothesized that administering an ultra-low Na18F dose would provide suitabl...
