Molecular Imaging for High-Risk Carotid Plaques
This invention is a molecular probe that enables a non-invasive method for detecting vulnerable plaque in the carotid artery prior to its rupture.
Background:
Approximately 140,000 Americans die from stroke—these stroke-caused deaths occur every four minutes. Carotid atherosclerotic disease causes between 20% and 25% of all strokes. A carotid...
