Brief Summary

The purpose of this collaboration is to establish a multi-modality image database including coronary angiograms, optical coherence tomography (OCT), computed tomography angiograms (CTA) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) for future studies. The main goal of this collaboration is to create a resource to promote further understanding of the pathobiology of atherosclerosis through image analysis.
