Assessment of Carotid Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Detection of Lipid-Rich Necrotic Core in Symptomatic Carotid Atheroma

Assessment of Carotid Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Detection of Lipid-Rich Necrotic Core in Symptomatic Carotid Atheroma

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) compared with contrast-enhanced MR imaging for the detection of the lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) of symptomatic carotid atherosclerotic plaques. Materials and Methods Twenty-five patients (median age: 66 yea...
