## Abstract High resolution MRI at 3 T and US imaging at 50 MHz were used for atherosclerotic plaque characterization. For 14 excised segments of human arteries, conventional MR and US images, quantitative MR T2 maps, US integrated attenuation (IA) maps, and histologic sections were produced and co
## Abstract ## Purpose To examine the impact of spatial resolution and respiratory motion on the ability to accurately measure atherosclerotic plaque burden and to visually identify atherosclerotic plaque composition. ## Materials and Methods Numerical simulations of the Bloch equations and vess
