Fig. 2.
a Representative magnified axial CTA image of the proximal left internal carotid artery in a subject with predominantly soft plaque. White arrow represents the residual patent ICA lumen. The white calipers represent maximum linear soft plaque thickness. This subject has no discernable hard plaque at this level. b Correlative 3D-TOF source MRA image for the same subject shown in (a). Patient lumen shown with the white arrow and area of IHIS is shown with the black arrow. c Larger field-of view image showing both ICAs on the same CTA source image shown in detail in (a). d Larger field-of-view image showing both ICAs on the same MRA source image shown in detail in (b).
