Fig. 1From: Atherosclerotic plaque features relevant to rupture-risk detected by clinical photon-counting CT ex vivo: a proof-of-concept studyAtherosclerotic plaque features detected by PCCT. Evaluation of the histological characteristics of rupture-prone plaques that may be detected using PCCT showed this technique allows for the differentiation of well-known features of rupture-prone lesions beyond calcification, namely intraplaque haemorrhage and thrombus.
