Li D, et al. - The researchers examined the usefulness of Simultaneous Non-contrast Angiography and intraPlaque haemorrhage (SNAP) imaging in characterizing carotid intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH) compared with magnetisation-prepared rapid acquisition gradient-echo (MP-RAGE) sequence. SNAP imaging detected more IPHs compared with the MP-RAGE sequence, especially for smaller IPHs. Therefore, this study proposed that for identification of carotid haemorrhagic plaques, SNAP imaging could be a more sensitive tool.
