Improved detection of molecular markers of atherosclerotic plaques using sub-millimeter PET imaging [PDF]
, 2020 Since atherosclerotic plaques are small and sparse, their non-invasive detection via PET imaging requires both highly specific radiotracers as well as imaging systems with high sensitivity and resolution.

Computed Tomography Biomarkers of Vulnerable Coronary Plaques
Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2016 An unstable plaque has a high risk of thrombosis and at the same time for a fast progression of the stenosis degree. Also, “high-risk plaque” and “thrombosis-prone plaque” are used as synonym terms for characterization of a vulnerable plaque. The imaging

Multitarget Vulnerable Plaque Imaging [PDF]
Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017 The search for the vulnerable plaque has been a prolonged, circuitous journey that despite considerable investment and resource expenditure has hitherto failed to alter clinical practice. The rationale remains enticing. We have known for some time that plaques at risk of rupture and precipitating myocardial infarction and stroke have certain ...

The complementary roles of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT for imaging of carotid atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2016 Inflammation and neovascularization in vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques are key features for severe clinical events. Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and FDG PET are two noninvasive imaging techniques capable of quantifying plaque neovascularization

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2016 Acute coronary syndromes represent the most severe consequences of atherosclerosis, most often triggered by the rupture of a coronary plaque, which, for various reasons, has become unstable.

Optical imaging techniques for vulnerable plaque detection
Translational Biophotonics, 2020 Vulnerable plaque rupture is the most important cause of myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, identifying vulnerable plaques is of prime importance, which will in turn aid in the development of treatments to stabilise them ...

Requiem for the ‘vulnerable plaque’ [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2015 The concept of the so-called ‘vulnerable plaque’ has proved highly useful to guide research and thinking regarding the pathophysiology of the acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Yet, the time may have come to reconsider this construct, as knowledge has accumulated, the risk profile of the populace has shifted, and our current therapies have reshaped the ...

Neuroimaging of the Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]
Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2015 Plaque vulnerability due to inflammation has been shown to be a participating factor in the degenerative process in the arterial wall that contributes to stenosis and embolism. This is believed to have an important role to play also in the genesis of stroke or cerebrovascular diseases.
