Abstract

Als systemischer Entzündungsprozess ist die Arteriosklerose charakterisiert durch die Entstehung von Plaques, Plaqueruptur und/oder Plaqueerosion, die zum Myokardinfarkt führen. Intravaskulärer Ultraschall, MRT und drei-dimensionaler Carotis-Ultraschall sind in der Lage, Plaques auf der Basis ihrer Morphologie und Zusammensetzung darzustellen, können aber nur bedingt die molekulare Typisierung bzw. zuverlässige Unterscheidung zwischen vulnerablen, rupturgefährdeten und stabilen Plaques erreichen. Die molekulare Bildgebung stellt nun in vielerlei Hinsicht eine wichtige komplementäre Säule der modernen präklinischen und klinischen Bildgebung dar (Abb. 1).
