Quantification of carotid plaque composition with a multi-contrast atherosclerosis characterization (MATCH) MRI sequence

Background and purposeCarotid atherosclerotic plaques with a large lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC), intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), and a thin or ruptured fibrous cap are associated with increased stroke risk. Multi-sequence MRI can be used to quantify carotid atherosclerotic plaque composition. Yet,...
