Comparison of the magnetization transfer, apparent diffusion coefficient, T2 and T1 relaxation rate of the thrombus and the plaque. A, The percent magnetization transfer rate and B, the apparent diffusion coefficient were significantly different between the thrombus and the plaque and thus can be used to generate endogenous contrast between these two tissue components. C, The T2 and D, T1 relaxation rates were similar between the two components.
