Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Analysis of Carotid Calcified Plaques in Stroke Patients
We qualitatively evaluated carotid plaques using DECT in patients with stroke. These findings suggest a potential role of MSU in carotid plaque formation among stroke patients. Future studies should investigate the clinical significance of these findings and potential therapeutic implications.
