(a) In vivo MR-images (Lumen is marked by a red asterisk); (b) Segmented contour plots showing plaque components (Black: Lumen, vessel wall or calcification; Magenta: Lipid core; Red: Ulcer); (c): Rendered 3D view using the segmented contours; (d): Band plot of maximal principal stress (Stress-P1) of corresponding slices; CPSI values were calculated based on critical Stress-P1 values at critical sites, following procedures described in the paper.
