Figure 2From: Non-invasive imaging of carotid arterial restenosis using 3T cardiovascular magnetic resonanceExample of restenosis with the appearances of lipid reaccumulation. 50% restenosis of the right common carotid artery is shown (*marks lumen). A crescent of plaque is seen that is isointense to the adjacent sternocleidomastoid muscle (†) on the T1W image (arrow). The same area shows low intensity signal on the T2W image (arrow), suggestive of lipid-rich plaque.Back to article page
