Atherosclerotic 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.
