Dual-Tracer Positron-Emission Tomography for Identification of Culprit Carotid Plaques and Pathophysiology In Vivo

Inflammation and microcalcification are interrelated processes contributing to atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability. Positron-emission tomography can quantify these processes in vivo. This study investigates (1) F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and F-sodium fluoride (NaF) uptake in culprit versus nonculpr...
