Coronary Artery Plaque Components

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze atherosclerotic vessel wall components with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and compare with MRI. The hypothesis is that MRI is comparable to computed tomography (CT) in showing plaque components of coronary plaques.
