Objectives: Radiotherapy (RT) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but little is known about the mechanism for vascular injury and methods for early detection.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective, pilot study of carotid artery inflammation using F-labeled 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([F]FDG) PET/CT imaging pre- and 3 months post-RT in head-and-neck cancer (HNC) patients. [F]FDG uptake by the carotid arteries was measured by the maximum and mean target to background ratio (TBR, TBR) and the mean partial volume corrected standardized uptake value (pvcSUV).
