Magnetization transfer magnetic resonance of human atherosclerotic plaques ex vivo detects areas of high protein density
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Proteins are major plaque components, and their degradation is related to the plaque instability. We sought to assess the feasibility of magnetization transfer (MT) magnetic resonance (MR) for identifying fibrin and collagen in carot...
