Dual-energy computed tomography iodine maps for visualizing enhancement and estimating characteristics in plaques [PDF]
Radiology Case ReportsDistal embolism causing acute ischemic events due to rupture of vulnerable plaques can occur during endovascular therapy, necessitating careful treatment and technique selection. Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is a key factor in plaque instability.
