Figure 3 Correlations between percentage of plaque area and stiffness ß. Open squares represent white plaques, and open circles represent yellow plaques. Good correlation is observed (white plaques: r2 = 0.432, p = 0.0279; yellow plaques: r2 = 0.325, p = 0.0019). The stiffness ß for the white plaques is significantly greater than for the yellow plaques (p = 0.00391).
