“…Detection and visualization of carotid artery calcium are possible with both CT and MR. However, because of the high Xray attenuation of calcium [44], CT is considered the reference standard for quantification and characterization of carotid artery calcification [45,46]. Some studies have shown that carotid plaque calcification is a protective plaque feature associated with biomechanical plaque stability [47].…”

“…2,43,44 Nowadays, it is possible to detect and visualize carotid artery calcium with different imaging modalities: magnetic resonance, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound. Among different imaging techniques because of its excellent x-ray attenuation of calcium, 45 CT angiography is considered the standard reference to quantify and characterize carotid artery calcification 46,47 Several studies have been performed to detect and characterize calcium within carotid plaques using CT. In a study published in 2006, the authors found that the calcium scores in the cervical carotid arteries may represent an independent marker of luminal stenosis and ischemic symptoms.…”

“…Among these, CT is considered the standard reference both for quantification and characterization of carotid artery calcifications. [19][20][21] Our hypothesis is that it is possible to classify the CTA patterns of calcifications in the carotid plaque by identifying subgroups that can be more frequently associated with the presence of symptomatic cerebrovascular events. We have, therefore, developed a novel classification based on the different calcium configurations.…”
