Plaque imaging using ultrasound, magnetic resonance and computer tomography: a review.
Different classifications have been proposed in the literature for the characterization of atherosclerotic plaque morphology, resulting in considerable confusion. For example plaques containing medium of high level uniform echoes were classified as homogeneous by others and correspond closely to dense and calcified plaques, other types. This survey is to understand different types of plaque when imaged using ultrasound and MR.
