Figure 6

An example of a potentially culprit vessel wall lesion containing intraplaque hemorrhage. The signal profile is measured using both Conv-VWI (A, NE-T1WI; D, CE-T1WI) and DL-VWI (B, NE-T1WI; E, CE-T1WI). Both signal peaks from the normal vessel wall and the lesion are of similar height when comparing nonenhanced Conv-VWI and DL-VWI (C). On the other hand, contrast-enhanced images display a slightly higher signal intensity peak in DL-VWI compared to Conv-VWI (F). Note that the background noise signal variation is more flattened in DL-VWI, both in nonenhanced (C) and contrast-enhanced images (F).
