Spectral CT parameters of perivascular adipose tissue as non-invasive biomarkers for identifying symptomatic carotid atherosclerosis

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the association between computed tomography (CT) spectral parameters of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) and carotid plaque composition, and to assess their value for identifying symptomatic plaques. Materials and methods In this study, 306 consecutive patients with...
