Ex vivo differential phase contrast and magnetic resonance imaging for characterization of human carotid atherosclerotic plaques
2015
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging
We aimed to evaluate the potential of ex vivo differential phase contrast X-ray tomography (DPC) to accurately characterize human carotid plaque components in comparison to high field multicontrast MRI ...
