The Vulnerable, or High-Risk, Atherosclerotic Plaque: Noninvasive MR Imaging for Characterization and Assessment
Abstract
"Vulnerable" plaques are atherosclerotic plaques that have a high likelihood to cause thrombotic complications, such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Plaques that tend to progress rapidly are also considered to be vulnerable. Besides luminal stenosis, plaque composition and morphology are key determinants of the likelihood that a plaque will cause cardiovascular events. Noninvasive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has great potential to enable characterization of atherosclerotic plaque composition and morphology and thus to help assess plaque vulnerability. A classification for clinical, as well as pathologic, evaluation of vulnerable plaques was recently put forward in which five major and five minor criteria to define vulnerable plaques were proposed. The purpose of this review is to summarize the status of MR imaging with regard to depiction of the criteria that define vulnerable plaques by using existing MR techniques. The use of MR imaging in animal models and in human disease in various vascular beds, particularly the carotid arteries, is presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
