Example of simultaneous noncontrast angiography and intraplaque hemorrhage (SNAP) imaging results showing (a) the negative MRA image, (b) the positive IPH image, and (c) a fused image with the IPH in red. Cross-sectional images show good agreement with corresponding histology (d) including the presence of an ulceration (arrow) and highly stenotic external carotid artery (arrowhead).
