From: Classification of human coronary atherosclerotic plaques with T1, T2 and Ultrashort TE MRI
T1 weighted and UTE MRI of a coronary artery with large fibrocalcific plaques. (A, B) T1W MRI at two cross-sections along the coronary artery. (C) T1 weighted multiplanar reformat of the vessel. (D) UTE multiplanar reformat, and (E, F) UTE cross sections of the vessel. Two large plaques are seen along the coronary artery in the multiplanar reformats. Foci of profound T1 hypointensity, which appear isointense on the UTE images, are seen in these plaques consistent with plaque calcification.
