Figure 1 A 61-year-old man in the HHcy group with left carotid low-density plaque with a nodular calcification (high-risk plaque). The basal scan (A) shows the average fat tissue (white circle) of −69.8 HU, whereas the postcontrast scan (B) shows the average fat tissue density (white circle) value of −58.4 HU with a net enhancement value of 11.4 HU.
