Figure 3 Classification of non-calcified plaques depending on Hounsfield unit threshold.
The absolute (A) and relative (B) distribution of plaques in Group 1 and Group 2 depending on the threshold applied for defining lipid rich vs fibrous plaques. Group 2 shows a higher prevalence of lipid rich plaques using all three thresholds. The prevalence is increased using higher thresholds. n: Number of plaques; HU: Hounsfield units.
