Pressure induced deformation measurements on atherosclerotic porcine iliac arteries: An MRI study

Aim: Inspect the MRI image sequence to see if it can image the components of an atherosclerotic plaque and investigate if pressure induced deformation measurements can be done on these images. Methods: Four porcine iliac arteries with atherosclerotic plaques were scanned with a T2 imaging sequence in a 7T MRI scanner. One high resolution scan...
