Does CTA accurately reflect plaque composition compared to histologic examination in carotid atherosclerotic plaques?
High-resolution CTA is a viable non-invasive imaging modality for determining the composition of carotid atherosclerotic plaques, correlating with histologic findings.
The composition of carotid atherosclerotic plaques determined by CTA reflects plaque composition defined by histologic examination.
Wintermark et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
