Official Title: 18F-fluoride (18F-NaF) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for Identification of Ruptured and High-Risk Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques

Brief 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.
