Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether 18F-NaF (sodium fluoride) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans can be used to identify ruptured and high-risk plaque as compared to non-invasive coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) scans and high-definition intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). In subsets of patients, 18F-NaF PET scans and CCTA will be repeated to assess scan-rescan reproducibility.

Primary Outcome

a comparison of the uptake of 18F-NaF in an atherosclerotic plaque lesion compared to the background (superior vena cava)
