Carotid plaque can be characterized now by simply measuring the plaque density
Plaque density on CT, a potential marker of ischemic stroke.
In an article in- Neurology. 2006 Jan 10;66(1):118-20 by Serfaty JM et al
The authors sought to determine in a retrospective analysis whether carotid plaque soft TD on CT is associated with recent ischemic neurologic events. Authors found an odds ratio for neurologic events associated with a 10-point decrease in density of 1.54 (p = 0.002), showing an association between plaque density and neurologic events.
