Abstract

Non-invasive, high-resolution magnetic resonance has the potential to image atherosclerotic plaque and to determine its composition and micro-anatomy. We will summarizes the rationale for plaque imaging, and describe the characteristics of plaque using existing MRI techniques. The use of MRI in human disease and in animal models, particularly rabbits and mice, will be presented. Current and future applications of MRI, including new contrast agents and molecular imaging are also discussed.
