From: High-resolution intravascular magnetic resonance quantification of atherosclerotic plaque at 3T
(A) In vivo T 1 -weighted angiographic coronal image acquired by loopless intravascular CMR detector from a female New Zealand white rabbit showing the aorta near the renal bifurcation. (B) X-Ray fluoroscopic image confirming placement of the loopless CMR detector in the aorta 4 cm above the renal bifurcation. (C) The cardiac-gated 80 μm high-resolution 3 T CMR of the rabbit aortic vessel wall 1 cm above the renal bifurcation. (D) Post-mortem histological image of aortic vessel wall of the same imaging slice. The shape is distorted during harvesting and staining processes. A small indent is evident on the vessel wall in both the image (C) and histology (D; red arrows)
