Quantitative characterization of carotid plaque components using MR apparent diffusion coefficients and longitudinal relaxation rates at 3T: A comparison with histology.

Background: There is limited evidence of parametric MR mapping to characterize carotid plaques associated with cerebral ischemic events.Purpose: To explore the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) and longitudinal relaxation rates (R1 ) of carotid plaques, including areas of hemorrhage, lipid-rich...
