ABSTRACT The functional imaging technique of 18F‐fluoride positron emission tomography (18F‐PET) allows the noninvasive quantitative assessment of regional bone formation at any skeletal site, including the spine and hip. The aim of this study was to determine if 18F‐PET can be used as an early biom...
