In Vivo Imaging of Macrophage Activity in the Coronary Arteries Using ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT: Correlation with Coronary Calcium Burden and Risk Factors

Abstract

In a series of oncologic patients, those with prior cardiovascular events and calcified atherosclerotic plaques showed significantly increased (68)Ga-DOTATATE uptake in the LAD, suggesting a potential role of this tracer for plaque imaging in the coronary arteries.
