This document contains images and descriptions of various plaques and lesions found in arteries and the heart from MRI studies. It shows a plaque in the left internal carotid artery with a resolution of 450μm, a 4.5mm plaque in the aorta identified as a type Va fibroatheroma, and images of a plaque and wall of the left anterior descending coronary artery comparing MRI to X-ray angiogram. The sources listed are papers and studies from 2000 from Imaging Science Laboratories at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Editor's Notes
- In vivo transverse T2-weighted fast SE MR imaging of a left internal carotid artery. Plaque characterization was based on information obtained from T1-, intermediate-, and T2-weighted MR images. Left: T2-weighted MR image (repetition time, two R-R intervals; echo time, 55 msec; 3-mm section thickness; 450-µm in-plane resolution) shows low-signal-intensity lipid core (lc), high-signal-intensity fibrous cap (fc), and very high–signal-intensity thrombus (t). l = arterial lumen. Right: Corresponding histopathologic section. (Mason-eosin stain; original magnification, X10). Fayad ZA, Fuster V. Characterization of atherosclerotic plaques by magnetic resonance imaging.

- • In vivo magnetic resonance images of a 4.5 mm thick plaque in the descending thoracic aorta: A) T1-weighted; B) Proton density-weighted; C) T2-weighted; with the corresponding transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) image (panel D). The MR images show an example of an AHA type Va plaque with a dark area in the center (arrow) identified on the T2-weighted image as a lipid rich core (panel C). The lipid rich core is separated from the lumen by a fibrous cap. Plaque characterization was based on the information obtained from T1-, proton-density-, and T2- weighted MR images. Image resolution is 0.8 mm.
