3D CMR VWI and DSA images of CCA. Both a, a sagittal 3D cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) vessel wall imaging (VWI) image, and b, a lateral projection of a digital subtraction angiography (DSA) image, depict the lumen diameters of the common carotid artery (CCA) and C1-C7 segments in a 59-year-old man. The cross-sectional views at 8 locations are shown with numbered sub-windows, including CCA and internal carotid artery (ICA) (C1-C7). CCA, common carotid artery; 3D CMR VWI, three-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging; DSA, digital subtraction angiography; ICA, internal carotid artery
