| PET/CT imaging with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose | Radiation | Dose of 5 MBq/kg F-18-FDG given to fasting participant. Nuclear whole body imaging starting at 3 hours post-injection. The relation of the PET/CT image results and both the number of covert brain infarcts and the extent of white matter MRI hyperintensity will be investigated. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Plaque Inflammation | The extent to which plaque inflammation, as measured by the extent of FDG uptake, contributes to the number of covert infarcts and the magnitude of white matter hyperintensity. | 30 days |
