Abstract:
High-resolution MRI was compared with micro-CT for evaluating quantity and pattern of mineral deposition in 20 carotid endarterectomy specimens. Mineral volumes generated from CT and MR data were highly correlated. Patterns of mineralization were more clearly depicted on CT. Extent and morphology of mineralization may help assess plaque stability.
