From: High-resolution intravascular magnetic resonance quantification of atherosclerotic plaque at 3T
(A) In vivo cardiac-gated T 1 -weighted 80 μm resolution axial 3 T image acquired from a male hyperlipidemic rabbit aorta showing an area of abnormal tissue extending from the inner tissue wall (red arrows), 1 cm above the renal bifurcation. (B) The plaque region outlined from the vessel cross-section for quantification. (C) Histology of the corresponding vessel cross-section (collapsed during processing) showing an atherosclerotic lesion (arrows) on the inner wall.
