Evaluation of translocator protein quantification as a tool for characterising macrophage burden in human carotid atherosclerosis

Macrophage presence within atherosclerotic plaque is a feature of instability and a risk factor for plaque rupture and clinical events. Activated macrophages express high levels of the translocator protein/peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (TSPO/PBR). In this study, we investigated the potential fo...
