Figure 5 Apparent diffusion constants obtained by magnetic resonance from human aortic samples containing normal fibrous tissue, fatty streaks, and complex lipid-laden lesions are seen in photomicrographs. The apparent diffusion constant shows clear difference between the fibrous and lipid-rich tissue, with overlap noted between lipid-rich and fatty streak tissue (studies performed in collaboration with Dr. Renu Virmani).
