Folate Receptor–Targeted Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography to Detect Activated Macrophages in Atherosclerosis: Can It Distinguish Vulnerable from Stable Atherosclerotic Plaques?
The need for noninvasive imaging to distinguish stable from vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques is evident. Activated macrophages play a role in atherosclerosis and express folate receptor folate receptor β (FR-β). The feasibility of folate targeting to detect atherosclerosis was demonstrated in huma...
