Identification of vulnerable carotid plaque with histologically validated CT-derived plaque maps

OBJECTIVES: Ruptured carotid plaque causes stroke, but differentiating rupture-prone necrotic core from fibrous tissue with CT is limited by overlap of X-ray attenuation. We investigated the ability of CT-derived plaque maps created from ratios of plaque/contrast attenuation to identify histological...
