Abstract:
Neovessels are hallmarks of high-risk inflamed atherosclerotic plaques. In this study we used DCE-MRI and 18F-FDG PET to detect inflammation in atherosclerosis expressed as plaque neovessels count evaluated by histology. We found a positive correlation between neovessels count, DCE-MRI parameters, and 18F-FDG uptake. We propose that these noninvasive modalities could be used in the future to evaluate plaque-associated risk in the clinics.
