Abstract: Previous studies have suggested the role of microcalcifications in plaque vulnerability. This exploratory study sought to assess the potential of hybrid positron-emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usingWe included 12 patients with either recently symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis. All patients underwent
