Comparing histopathology with OCT imaging showed a trend toward increased TBR in fibroatheromas with low calcification and decreased TBR in fibro-calcified lesions ( p -value = 0.14).
Comparing histopathology with OCT imaging showed a trend toward increased TBR in fibroatheromas with low calcification and decreased TBR in fibro-calcified lesions ( p -value = 0.14).
Comparison of CD68-staining positive macrophages with MR enhancement ratio showed a positive trend ( ρ = −0.50, p -value = 0.22), whereas rather no correlation with MR plaque size measurements ( ρ = 0.38, p -value = 0.36) or PET TBR ( ρ = 0.24, p -value = 0.58).
Comparing histopathology with FDG-PET imaging showed no correlation but a weak trend toward increased TBR in fibrous plaques with low calcification and decreased TBR in fibro-calcified lesions ( ρ = −0.25, p -value = 0.54).
