Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Lipid-rich Necrotic Core. Multi contrast black and bright blood sequences show a large lipid-rich necrotic core (small arrow) with an intact thick fibrous cap best seen in the post contrast T1 weighted (CE T1W) image (long arrow). Calcification is also visible at the base of the plaque (chevron). Asterisks are placed on the lumen.
