Post-Radiation Carotid Disease
In this AJNR Article Summary, Dr. George Vilanilam discusses the article, " Biphasic Progression of Radiation-Induced Carotid Stenosis: The Predictive Role of Low-Density Plaque " . Low‑density carotid plaque on imaging may signal accelerated stenosis progression in post‑radiation patients, highlighting the need for earlier intervention and a shift toward evaluating plaque composition, not just degree of narrowing, to help prevent stroke in this high‑risk group.
