DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS OF UNSTABLE ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE IN CARRYING OUT MULTISLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY


Muraveva P.A., Serova N.S.

 

Mainly, intracoronary thrombosis is the cause of acute coronary syndrome. The structure of the atherosclerotic plaque plays an important role in the development of the mechanism of intracoronary thrombosis. Currently, there are various radiological methods for diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaques of the coronary arteries. The current review reveals the theme of "indirect" signs of instability of atherosclerotic plaques, their combinations and occurrence, detected by computed tomography. Retrospective studies have shown the feasibility of these signs of plaques in the assessment of the prognosis of acute coronary events. The review compares the results of computed tomography (CT) and intravascular ultrasound, which is the gold standard in the diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaque morphology.
