Preliminary study about the relationship between degree of internal carotid artery stenosis, wall shear stress on MR angiography and 18F-FDG uptake on PET/CT

Conclusions: These preliminary results indicated that there were significant correlations between degree of internal carotid artery stenosis, WSS and 18F-FDG uptake in patients with carotid artery stenosis. Furthermore, the relationship between WSS and 18F-FDG uptake was higher than that between degree of internal carotid artery stenosis and 18F-FDG uptake.
