[Retracted] Detection and Prediction of Peripheral Arterial Plaque Using Vessel Wall MR in Patients with Diabetes

Table 1

MRI signal features noted for the identification of atherosclerotic plaque constituents.

Multicontrast sequences
Plaque composition	TOF	T1	PD	T2
Calcification	−	−	−	−/+
Lipid core	O	+	+	−/o
Hemorrhage	−	−		−
Acute (<1 week)	+	+	O	O
Recent (1-6 weeks)	+	+	+	+
Fibrous constituent	O/+	O/+	O/+	O/+

Compare the muscle: +: Hpersignal; O: Isosignal; −: Hpeosignal.
