Representative images of coronary culprit lesions with calcified plaque. The left panel shows the images of a patient with HIP and calcified plaque, and the right panel shows the images of a patient with non-HIP and calcified plaque. A culprit lesion site is detected on coronary angiography (white dotted arrow). After identifying the same site using an anatomical reference image, the presence of HIP is confirmed using dark-blood T1-weighted imaging (yellow arrow). In addition, NIRS-IVUS shows a calcified plaque and maximum LCBI at the 4-mm segment using a chemogram. T1w, T1 weighted image
