A 83-year-old female with a left-sided stroke and intraplaque hamorrhage as detected with MR. A 3D MPRAGE MR image reveals a high-intensity semi-circumferential plaque in the left internal carotid artery (arrow in a, b), corresponding to intraplaque hemorrhage. The excellent tissue contrast resolution of MR makes it the non-invasive imaging method of choice for the detection of blood degradation products in hemorrhagic plaques. MPRAGE: magnetization-prepared 180° radio-frequency pulses and rapid gradient-echo
