Imaging Inflammation in Patients and Animals: Focus on PET Imaging the Vulnerable Plaque

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) describes a range of conditions associated with the rupture of high-risk or vulnerable plaque. Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is associated with many changes in its microenvironment which could potentially cause rapid plaque progression. Present-day PET imaging prese...
