This thesis evaluates the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in the characterisation of the atherosclerotic plaque at the carotid artery. The studies can be subdivided in three main categories; 1) optimization of image acquisition with MRI and MDCTA , 2) MRI and MDCT validation studies in which images were compared with histologic sections, and 3) clinical studies.
