Figure 6From: MRI of coronary artery atherosclerosis in rabbits: Histopathology-MRI correlation and atheroma characterizationDependence of image contrast for lipid rich atheroma and fibrous tissue is shown as 3D plot (left panel). Note the image contrast between atheroma and fibrous tissue as a function of unique combination of scan optimized parameters-TE and TR, at 9.4 T. Multicontrast method is represented to demonstrate different feature space intensity 3D distributions of plaque components using combined T1-w, T2-w and proton density weighting.Back to article page
