Coronary CT Angiography in the Quantitative Assessment of Coronary Plaques
Figure 7
Virtual intravascular endoscopy (VIE) visualization of mixed plaque in a 56-year-old male with coronary artery disease. (a) Curved planar reformation shows mixed plaques at the proximal segment of left anterior descending artery (LAD). Corresponding VIE images (b) and (c) show that the irregular intraluminal appearance is due to presence of different plaque components within the plaque.
