Figure 1

(A) A volume-rendering image of the left anterior descending artery (arrow). A plaque with intermediate stenosis. (B) (Left) Curved multiplaner reconstruction image shows intermediate stenosis in the proximal portion of left anterior descending artery (arrow). (Right) Color-coded curved multiplaner reconstruction image of coronary plaque. (C) (Left) Color-coded cross-sectional multiplaner reconstruction image. (Right) Gray-scale multiplaner reconstruction images. Numbers that identify the images correspond to the cross-section in (B). Regions of interests (white square, 0.5 x 0.5 mm) with homogenous tissue components were selected on IB-IVUS images, and were used to set the corresponding region of interests on cross-sectional multiplaner reconstruction images of multidetector computed tomography. (D) (Left) Integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound color-coded maps. (Right) Gray-scale intravascular ultrasound images. Numbers that identify the images correspond to the cross-section in (B).
