Imaging Atherosclerosis with Hybrid Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 1

Example of multisequence MRI of a plaque in the right carotid artery (arrow). Each column shows three slices from the right common carotid artery (top row) to the internal carotid artery (bottom row). The nonstenotic left coronary artery is shown for comparison (arrowhead). Four different MR sequences are shown (T1 weighted, T2 weighted, proton density weighting, and time-of-flight angiography).
