Abstract
In vivo measurement of intraplaque T2* using MRI is feasible and distinguishes symptom-producing from non-symptom-producing plaques in patients with carotid artery atherosclerosis. Symptom-producing plaques demonstrated characteristic changes in iron forms by ex vivo analysis, supporting the dynamic presence of iron in the microenvironment of atherosclerotic plaque.
