Keywords: Atherosclerosis, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniquesWe developed a Dw-viscosity imaging method to identify atherosclerotic plaques. First, we conducted experiments to determine ADC and viscosity changes of four different concentrations of glycerin solution, and determined the viscosity model. Second, a clinical study was carried out, and Dw-viscosity imaging was performed. As a result, we found that there was a significant difference between with and without hemorrhage findings (P < 0.01). Dw-viscosity imaging enables us to obtain more detailed information about atherosclerotic plaques such as intraplaque hemorrhage.
