- Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose detects active inflammation. References 1 Derlin T, Richter U, Bannas P, Begemann P, Buchert R, Mester J. Feasibility of 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT for imaging of atherosclerotic plaque. In terms of macroscopic atherosclerotic plaque calcifications, it can be detected by computed tomography (CT), but the spatial resolution of CT cannot detect all the microcalcifications within a vulnerable plaque that are at risk of rupture, hemorrhage, and thrombosis formation.
