Atherosclerotic Plaque Composition: Analysis with Multicolor CT and Targeted Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract
Use of the spectral CT imaging system with the gold high-density lipoprotein nanoparticle contrast agent can enable the detection of macrophages in atherosclerosis and imaging of the vasculature an... PurposeTo investigate the potential of spectral computed tomography (CT) (popularly referred to as multicolor CT), used in combination with a gold high-density lipoprotein nanoparticle contrast age...
