Figure 3From: Characterization of healing following atherosclerotic carotid plaque rupture in acutely symptomatic patients: an exploratory study using in vivo cardiovascular magnetic resonanceComparison of maximum curvature, minimum curvature and lumen roughness over time. In summary, the lumen became smoother while healing occurred in the patient group (n = 23) without recurrent events. (A): maximum lumen curvature decreased with time; (B) minimum lumen curvature increased with time; and (C) the lumen roughness decreased.Back to article page
