Abstract Machine learning methods offer great promise for fast and accurate detection and
prognostication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from standard-of-care chest …

PET imaging of atherosclerosis can quantify several in vivo pathological processes occurring
within the arterial system. F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is the most-commonly used PET …

Advances in atherosclerosis imaging technology and research have provided a range of
diagnostic tools to characterize high-risk plaque in vivo; however, these important vascular …

Background— Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is usually a consequence of inflammatory cell
activity within the plaque. Current imaging techniques provide anatomic data but no …

Background The use of non-invasive imaging to identify ruptured or high-risk coronary
atherosclerotic plaques would represent a major clinical advance for prevention and treatment of …

Background Dalcetrapib modulates cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity to raise
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). After the failure of torcetrapib it was unknown if …

Objectives : This study tested the near-term reproducibility of 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging of atherosclerosis. Background : It is known that …

Objectives : With combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (CT),
we investigated coronary arterial uptake of 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) and 18F-…

Atherosclerosis imaging with 18 F-FDG PET is useful for tracking inflammation within plaque
and monitoring the response to drug therapy. Short-term reproducibility of this technique in …

Vascular calcification is a complex biological process that is a hallmark of atherosclerosis.
While macrocalcification confers plaque stability, microcalcification is a key feature of high-risk …
