The 3D, Time of Flight (TOF) extracranial MRA: Severe stenosis of the right internal carotid artery (I). E = external carotid artery, C = Common Carotid Artery
Figure 2:
Carotid Endarterectomy Specimens (a) unopened right internal carotid artery
(b) opened right internal carotid artery, demonstrated severe stenosis and unstable plaque. I = Internal carotid artery, E = External carotid artery, C = Common Carotid artery
