Bilateral Carotid Artery Molecular Calcification Assessed by [<sup>18</sup>F] Fluoride PET/CT: Correlation with Cardiovascular and Thromboembolic Risk Factors

Bilateral Carotid Artery Molecular Calcification Assessed by [<sup>18</sup>F] Fluoride PET/CT: Correlation with Cardiovascular and Thromboembolic Risk Factors

Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, involves inflammatory processes that result in plaque formation and calcification. The early detection of the molecular changes underlying these processes is crucial for effective disease management. This study utilized positron...
