Figure 2 Vascular attenuation, plaque attenuation and noise.
Main vascular attenuation evaluations (A) and signal/noise parameters (B). Group 1 always shows a significantly higher vascular attenuation (A, P < 0.05). Group 2, in contrast, shows a lower noise which ultimately results in a significantly higher S/N (P < 0.05). HU: Hounsfield units; S/N: Signal to noise ratio.
