Imaging plaque inflammation in asymptomatic cocaine addicted individuals with simultaneous positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 1 Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging results by group. A: Wall thickness across groups; B: Wall area across groups. CVD: Cardiovascular disease.

Figure 2 Dark blood magnetic resonance imaging images. A, B: Healthy vessel in a control subject; C, D: Increased carotid wall thickness (arrows) and area in a cocaine addicted individual. A and C show longitudinal images of the left carotid bifurcation. B and D show axial images of the lateral carotid.

Figure 3 Partial correlation plot. A: Wall area associations with Cocaine withdrawal symptoms, controlled for age and nicotine; B: Wall area associations with Cocaine craving, controlled for age and nicotine.
