Keywords: Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular, pericoronary adipose tissue
Motivation: We attempted to assess pericoronary adipose tissue using the mDIXON sequence of magnetic resonance imaging
Goal(s): To evaluate the relationship between pericoronary adipose tissue and coronary stenosis grade and plaque type
Approach: Study design to test the hypothesis
Results: Pericoronary adipose tissue volume is independently associated with the type of coronary plaque
Impact: Magnetic resonance imaging is more accurate for the assessment of adipose tissue. This is the first time to apply MRI to the assessment of pericoronary adipose tissue, and to verify its direct relationship with coronary plaque type and stenosis grade.
