From: Expansive arterial remodeling of the carotid arteries and its effect on atherosclerotic plaque composition and vulnerability: an in-vivo black-blood 3T CMR study in symptomatic stroke patients

Fig. 1

Illustration shows plaque with stenosis and expansive remodeling; the modified remodeling index (mRI) was calculated by dividing the outer vessel area at the proximal internal carotid artery VA1 (vessel-area) and VA2 by the lumen-area (LA) measured on TOF-images of a not affected and distally located part of the internal carotid artery (segment VA1 has higher mRI than VA2). The imaging protocol consisted of TOF and Black-Blood T2-, T1-, PD-images, and as contrast-enhanced (CE) T1w
