Peri-Coronary Adipose Tissue Density Is Associated With <sup>18</sup>F-Sodium Fluoride Coronary Uptake in Stable Patients With High-Risk Plaques. [PDF]
This study aimed to assess the association between increased lesion peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) density and coronary 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET) in stable patients with high-risk coronary plaques (HRPs) shown on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA).Coronary 18F-NaF uptake reflects the ...
