Images in (r-θ) view showing the different appearance of the main three plague types: left, fiber; middle, lipid; right, calcium. It is shown that the calcium has a few distinctive characteristics which are apparent in the images: sharp borders with low average intensity and low attenuation (beam goes from left to right) within the calcified region.
