Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between atherosclerotic plaque features and inflammation using advanced imaging techniques (18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI).
- Analyzed data from 31 patients showed that plaques with ruptured or thin fibrous caps and those rich in lipids or hemorrhage indicated higher inflammation, based on target/background ratios (TBR).
- The findings suggest that combining these imaging methods could improve the assessment and classification of carotid atherosclerotic plaques for better diagnosis.
