A strong relationship exists between the severity of carotid stenosis and early stroke risk. Inflammation is believed to be an important event for atherosclerotic plaque destabilization and subsequent thromboembolism. (18)F-FDG can image atherosclerotic inflammation, providing information about plaque biology, which may serve as a useful biomarker for the assessment of early stroke risk.
颈动脉狭窄的严重程度与早期中风风险之间存在密切关系。炎症被认为是动脉粥样硬化斑块不稳定及随后血栓栓塞的一个重要因素。（18）F-FDG 可对动脉粥样硬化炎症进行成像，提供有关斑块生物学的信息，这可能作为评估早期中风风险的有用生物标志物。
