Blomberg B, Thomassen A, de Jong P, Lam M, Hess S, Olsen M, et al.
Nucl Med Commun . 2017 Sep; 38(11):998-1006. PMID: 28902094
Objective: Reference values of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) and fluorine-18-sodium fluoride (F-NaF) uptake in human arteries are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine age-specific and sex-specific reference values of...

Blomberg B, Thomassen A, de Jong P, Lam M, Diederichsen A, Olsen M, et al.
Nucl Med Commun . 2017 Sep; 38(11):1007-1014. PMID: 28877084
Objective: Coronary artery fluorine-18-sodium fluoride (F-NaF) uptake reflects coronary artery calcification metabolism and is considered to be an early prognostic marker of coronary heart disease. This study evaluated the relationship...

Blomberg B, de Jong P, Thomassen A, Lam M, Vach W, Olsen M, et al.
Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging . 2016 Nov; 44(2):249-258. PMID: 27796543
Purpose: Arterial inflammation and vascular calcification are regarded as early prognostic markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study we investigated the relationship between CVD risk and arterial inflammation (F-FDG...

Eikendal A, Blomberg B, Haaring C, Saam T, van der Geest R, Visser F, et al.
J Cardiovasc Magn Reson . 2016 Apr; 18:20. PMID: 27075677
Background: Pre-clinical detection of atherosclerosis enables personalized preventive strategies in asymptomatic individuals. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has evolved as an attractive imaging modality for studying atherosclerosis in vivo. Yet, the...

Oudkerk S, de Jong P, Blomberg B, Scholtens A, Mali W, Spiering W
JACC Cardiovasc Imaging . 2015 Aug; 9(6):755-6. PMID: 26298070

Blomberg B, Bashyam A, Ramachandran A, Gholami S, Houshmand S, Salavati A, et al.
Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging . 2015 May; 42(9):1414-22. PMID: 25962589
Purpose: The human arterial wall is smaller than the spatial resolution of current positron emission tomographs. Therefore, partial volume effects should be considered when quantifying arterial wall (18)F-FDG uptake. We...

Pasha A, Moghbel M, Saboury B, Gharavi M, Blomberg B, Torigian D, et al.
Hell J Nucl Med . 2015 Feb; 18(1):5-10. PMID: 25679072
Objective: To quantify fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) uptake in the aorta and peripheral arteries and assess the variation of (18)F-FDG uptake with age and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: The subject population...

Takx R, Blomberg B, El Aidi H, Habets J, de Jong P, Nagel E, et al.
Circ Cardiovasc Imaging . 2015 Jan; 8(1). PMID: 25596143
Background: Hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease is an important indication for revascularization. Stress myocardial perfusion imaging is a noninvasive alternative to invasive fractional flow reserve for evaluating hemodynamically significant coronary...

Blomberg B, Hoilund-Carlsen P
PET Clin . 2014 Dec; 10(1):1-7. PMID: 25455876
[(18)F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET ((18)FDG PET) imaging has emerged as a promising tool for assessment of atherosclerosis. By targeting atherosclerotic plaque glycolysis, a marker for plaque inflammation and hypoxia, (18)FDG PET can...

Blomberg B, Thomassen A, Takx R, Hildebrandt M, Simonsen J, Buch-Olsen K, et al.
J Nucl Cardiol . 2014 Mar; 21(3):588-97. PMID: 24633502
Background: This study aimed to determine if delayed (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)FDG) PET/CT imaging improves quantitation of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation. Blood-pool activity can disturb the arterial (18)FDG signal. With time, blood-pool activity...
