Mehta, N. N., Torigian, D. A., Gelfand, J. M., Saboury, B., Alavi, A. Quantification of Atherosclerotic Plaque Activity and Vascular Inflammation using [18-F] Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT). J. Vis. Exp. (63), e3777, doi:10.3791/3777 (2012).
PET / CTは、理想的には、その高感度、高コントラスト分解能、定量的な性質、および組み合わせて代謝と解剖学的情報を提供する能力を与えられたこれらの成果の治療変調の短期的および長期的影響の評価に適しています。今後の研究ではPET / CTによって測定される血管の炎症時にスタチン療法を越えて、同様に他の疾患に標準と新規治療法の効果を調べる必要がありますように、このようなメタボリックシンドローム、関節リウマチ、糖尿病などの過剰なアテローム性動脈硬化症に関連付けられた状態非侵襲的な検出、特性評価、およびアテローム性動脈硬化症プラークの治療の進歩フィールド。
