We aimed to investigate the natural history of radiation-induced carotid atherosclerosis, comparing the patients who received radiotherapy for HNC with the patients who were treated without radiotherapy. Methods: The patients...

Methods: In this retrospective study, participants with carotid artery atherosclerosis who underwent carotid CTA and brain magnetic resonance imaging from May 2010 to December 2017 were studied. The participants were grouped into symptomatic and asymptomatic groups...
