The current study aims to quantify the extent of different composition in carotid artery plaques like intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and calcification by Quantitative MR imaging measurements derived from Synthetic MRI technique. We found different components have different distribution range at the value of T1 mapping, T2 mapping and PD mapping. It was concluded that quantitative mapping of synthetic MRI could quantify the extent of different plaque compositions.
