- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the distribution of calcification in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) tissues using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histology. Topics include the determination of atherosclerosis burden and distribution of calcified plaque in CEA tissues, quantification of total plaque burden and calcium score using the Agatston method, and comparison of micro-CT with histology.
