- The study looked at how different radiomic features can tell apart areas in PET images that show different levels of radioactivity.
- Researchers created a special test object filled with various materials to simulate these different radioactivity patterns before taking images.
- They found out that 15 out of 78 radiomic features were stable and could effectively help distinguish between the different patterns in the test object.
Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbimortality with over half cardiovascular events occurring in the asymptomatic population by traditional risk stratification. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate systemic plaque vulnerability in patients with prior Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with a single Whole Body [FDG] PET-CT scan in terms of plaque inflammation and calcifications.
Methods: Twenty-two patients referred for oncological evaluation and with prior history of advanced CAD or age and gender matched controls without cardiovascular disease, underwent a Whole Body PET-CT scan 90 min after injection of F-FDG.
