Diseased blood vessels often involve build up of cholesterol plaques that cause blockages or poor blood flow. This can lead to strokes and heart attacks. Our research aims to investigate the properties of diseased vessels in the neck with the latest scanning technologies to identifying individuals who are at risk of strokes. We hope to show that the inflammatory activity and composition of the plaques play important roles in leading to the development of strokes.

患病的血管通常会形成胆固醇斑块，从而导致血管堵塞或血流不畅。这可能导致中风和心脏病发作。我们的研究旨在利用最新的扫描技术研究颈部病变血管的特性，以识别有中风风险的个体。我们希望表明斑块的炎症活动和成分在导致中风的发展中发挥重要作用。
