Identifying active vascular microcalcification by 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography
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 atheroma and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Positron emission tomography and X-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging of atherosclerosis using (18)F-sodium fluoride ((18)F-NaF) h...
متن کامل18F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography
Coronary atherosclerosis is a progressive disease that involves vascular inflammation, development of cholesterol burdened atheroma, mechanisms of injury and repair, and subsequent calcification (1). Coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected with cardiac computed tomography has been shown to correlate well with overall plaque burden and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events (2...
متن کاملData on analysis of coronary atherosclerosis on computed tomography and 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography
This article contains the data showing illustrative examples of plaque classification on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and measurement of 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake in coronary atherosclerotic lesions on positron emission tomography (PET). We divided the lesions into one of three plaque types on CCTA (calcified plaque, non-calcified plaque, partially calcified plaque...

pressure and inter-beat interval variability in man. Apart from that the topic of the study is interesting and important, the paper contains some terminological inconsistencies which seriously undermine implications of research and thus, credibility of the conclusions made by the Authors. It is not uncommon to find studies with inconsistent terminology and definitions, with some terms being def...
متن کاملR – Repeatability, Reproducibility and Rigor
Computer systems research spans sub-disciplines that include embedded systems, programming languages and compilers, networking, and operating systems. Our contention is that a number of structural factors inhibit quality systems research. We highlight some of the factors we have encountered in our own work and observed in published papers and propose solutions that could both increase the produ...
