Abstract:
A variety of molecular imaging techniques based on the molecular mechanisms of vulnerable plaques, including positron emission tomography (PET) can identify the vulnerable plaque of the guilty carotid artery in cerebrovascular events and thus provide more detailed information for the risk assessment of stroke. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms and molecular imaging evaluation techniques of vulnerable carotid plaques.
