PET Radiotracers in Atherosclerosis: A Review
Curr Probl Cardiol. 2023 Jun 29:101925. doi: 10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.101925. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTraditional atherosclerosis imaging modalities are limited to late stages of disease, prior to which patients are frequently asymptomatic. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging allows for the visualization of metabolic processes underscoring disease progression via radioactive tracer, allowing earlier-stage disease to be identified. 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) uptake largely reflects the metabolic activity of macrophages, but is unspecific and limited in its utility. By detecting areas of m...
