Figure 4From: Multi-contrast atherosclerosis characterization (MATCH) of carotid plaque with a single 5-min scan: technical development and clinical feasibility(Patient 3) For the recent intra-plaque hemorrhage, hyper-intense contrast is its characteristic appearance on hyper T1-w and T2-w MATCH. The component is also verified on conventional T1-w (hyper-intense), T2-w (hyper-intense) TSE and TOF (hyper-intense). Notably, the contrast of the hemorrhage in this case is much sharper on hyper T1-w MATCH than on T1-w TSE.Back to article page
