MR bright-blood sequence Time of Flight (TOF), and black-blood sequences T1W, and MPRAGE show a hyperintense signal (white block arrows) in the necrotic core. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained matching histology shows a large necrotic core (broken lines) filled with hemorrhage. The hypointense signal (thin arrow) in the fibrous cap is shown by matching histology to be an area of calcification.
