Luca Saba,Michele Anzidei,Beatrice Cavallo Marincola,Mario Piga,Eytan Raz,Pier Paolo Bassareo,Alessandro Napoli,Lorenzo Di Cesare Mannelli,Carlo Catalano,Max Wintermark +9 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to describe the imaging characteristics of “vulnerable carotid plaques,” referring to those plaque’s parameters that concur to the instability of the plaque making it more prone to the rupture and distal embolization.
Journal ArticleDOI

CT Attenuation Analysis of Carotid Intraplaque Hemorrhage.
Laura Saba,Marco Francone,Pier Paolo Bassareo,Luca Lai,Roberto Sanfilippo,Roberto Montisci,J. S. Suri,C.N. De Cecco,G. Faa +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that CT can be used to identify the presence of intraplaque hemorrhage according to the attenuation, and a threshold of 25 HU in the volume acquired after the administration of contrast medium is associated with an optimal sensitivity and specificity.
