## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate whether the vessel wall MRI of carotid arteries would differentiate atβrisk soft plaque from solid fibrous plaque by identifying liquid components more accurately than color Doppler ultrasonography (US). ## Materials and Methods This study included 54 caroti

## Purpose: The role of hyperlipidemia in atherosclerotic changes of the carotid artery is controversial. the aims of this retrospective study were to assess (1) the relationship between total serum cholesterol and triglyceride and the grade of internal carotid artery stenosis and (2) whether total
## 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
The current study examines, at both structural and ultrastructural levels, representative segments of internal mammary arteries obtained from 15 male patients, ranging in age from 45 to 75 years, with signs or symptoms of coronary heart disease. These segments were obtained at the time of coronary b
Calcification has been examined in 250 samples of atherosclerotic lesions (types II to VI) of human carotid arteries using von Kossa and haematoxylin staining. Early calcification described as 'stippling' was first noted in stage III specimens, with intermediate and solid calcifications becoming inc
