Fig. 1From: Contralateral artery enlargement predicts carotid plaque progression based on machine learning algorithm models in apoE−/− miceMR images of cross-sectional view through the carotid depicting progression of atherosclerotic plaque development over 4 weeks period in representative animals from apoE−/− (a) and C57BL/6J (b) groups. a Example of MR images from days 7 to 28 after the surgery of the apoE−/− group. The images note the pronounced thickening of the vessel wall in the left carotid and the slight expansion of the vessel in the right carotid over time. b Example of MR images from days 7 to 28 after the surgery of the C57BL/6J group. The images show a significant stenosis of the left carotid artery and a slight expansion of the right carotid arteryBack to article page
