## Abstract ## Purpose: To determine if better flow suppression can meaningfully improve the reproducibility of measurements associated with carotid atherosclerotic disease, particularly for lumen and wall areas. ## Materials and Methods: Eighteen subjects with carotid artery stenosis identified
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the arterial wall has emerged as a viable technology for characterizing atherosclerotic lesions in vivo, especially within carotid arteries and other large vessels. This capability has facilitated the use of carotid MRI in clinical trials to evaluate therapeutic e
