The early detection of 'vulnerable' plaque segments is a key goal of coronary imaging. In this Review, Puri et al. highlight some of the advances in coronary imaging that have provided insights into the morphology of atherosclerosis and the identification of surrogates of plaque instability. The authors suggest that the fusion of these imaging technologies will allow for enhanced detection of early disease.
