Comparison of the SNR and CNR of different MRI sequences in detecting white-thrombi. A, Bar graph showing that all MRI sequences provide sufficient SNR for both the thrombus and the plaque. B, Bar graph showing that the thrombus was better discriminated from the underlying plaque on MTC and DW images that showed higher CNR compared to T1W and T2Wimages. SNR: signal-to-noise ratio, CNR: contrast-to-noise ratio.
