Abstract
Results: Pathologically, lipid rich necrosis was proved in all of seven cases, and intraplaque hemorrhage in five of seven cases. Mean relative susceptibility value of hemorrhage was higher than lipid rich necrosis unexceptionally (P = 0.0313). There were no significant differences between CNR of hemorrhage and lipid rich necrosis on all sequences. In all six cases with plaque calcification, susceptibility value of calcification was significantly lower than lipid rich necrosis unexceptionally (P = 0.0156). There were significant differences between CNRs of lipid rich necrosis and calcification on T1WI, PDWI, TOF (P < 0.05).
