The document discusses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of atherosclerosis in human carotid arteries. It summarizes several studies examining features of carotid plaques such as calcified regions, neovasculature and necrotic cores, reproducibility of measurements, appearance of intraplaque hemorrhage, and MRI appearance of thick fibrous caps. The document includes MRI images and photomicrographs comparing MRI findings to histology.
