From: High risk plaque criteria by multislice coronary CT angiography in patients with stable vs. unstable coronary artery disease: analytic cross-sectional study

Fig. 5

Semi-automated quantitative coronary plaque analysis with 3D volume rendered image and cMPR images revealed mixed plaque (calcium = 18.7%) with predominant non calcified portion (81.3%). Plaque characterization at area of maximal plaque burden revealed high-risk plaque characteristics; positively remodeled mixed plaque with predominate non calcified portion (R.I = 1.16) with plaque burden > 0.7 (P.B 84.1%), NRS (inner hypodense lipid core representing 77.7% of plaque area, low CT number 42 ± 12 and hyper dense fibrotic outer rim, high CT number 92 ± 22 HU
