(Patient 4) A slice with co-existent plaque components including acute intra-plaque hemorrhage (solid arrows), calcification (dashed arrows), and loose matrix (arrowheads). With the MATCH protocol, the unique contrast weightings and spatial coregistration facilitate easier identification of co-existent components and better appreciation of their spatial relations. The loose matrix is also hyper-intense on T1-w TSE, mimicking hemorrhage. However, it is not as hyper-intense as hemorrhage on TOF.
