Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Macrophages in Atherosclerosis with (18)F-GE-180, a Radiotracer for Translocator Protein (TSPO)

Intraplaque inflammation plays an important role in the progression of atherosclerosis. The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) expression is upregulated in activated macrophages, representing a potential target to identify inflamed atherosclerotic plaques. We preclinically evaluated (18)F-GE-180, a...
