Identification of symptomatic carotid atherosclerotic plaques using dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography-derived perivascular adipose tissue parameters and plaque morphology.
OBJECTIVES To establish and validate a multidimensional model for identifying symptomatic carotid plaques based on the combination of plaque morphological characteristics and perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) parameters obtained from dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (DLCT). METHODS This single-center...
