Vulnerable Plaque Detection and Quantification with Gold Particle–Enhanced Computed Tomography in Atherosclerotic Mouse Models

Vulnerable Plaque Detection and Quantification with Gold Particle–Enhanced Computed Tomography in Atherosclerotic Mouse Models

Recently, an apolipoprotein E–deficient (ApoE −/− ) mouse model with a mutation (C1039G+/−) in the fibrillin-1 ( Fbn1 ) gene (ApoE −/− Fbn1 C1039G+/− mouse model) was developed showing vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques, prone to rupture, in contrast to the ApoE −/− mouse model, where mainly stable...
