Multi-contrast CMR vessel wall images, SNAP with golden angle radial k-space sampling (GOAL-SNAP) images, label masks and T1 mappings of carotid plaques. The carotid plaques contained various components, including IPH (orange boundary), calcification (dark blue boundary), NC (yellow boundary) and LM (purple boundary). Intraplaque hemorrhage showed a reduced T1 compared with fibrous tissue (a). The T1 value of NC was shorter than that of LM (b)
