Figure 2From: The added value of longitudinal black-blood cardiovascular magnetic resonance angiography in the cross sectional identification of carotid atherosclerotic ulcerationUlcer identification using multicontrast, cross-sectional CMR images and longitudinal black-blood CMR (BB CMR) angiography. The ulcer (arrows), with a disorganized blood flow signal pattern shown on the cross-sectional CMR images, is well demarcated on the longitudinal BB CMR angiography and confirmed by corresponding histology. Proton density weighted image is not shown. Int = internal carotid artery. Ext = external carotid artery. Common = common carotid artery.Back to article page
