Figure 4 Example of histological validation of magnetic resonance imaging at four consecutive locations spanning the bifurcation. Multiple histological sections (at 0.5-1.0 mm-separation) generally correspond to each 2-mm thick image. Contours have been drawn for lumen (red), outer wall (cyan), lipid-rich/necrotic core (yellow), calcification (black), loose fibrous matrix (pink/white) and hemorrhage (orange)[49]. TOF: Time-of flight; HE: Hematoxylin and eosin; PDW: Proton density weighted; T2W: T2-weighted; T1W: T1-weighted.
