Here we present the high-resolution MRI imaging for assessing therapy of titrated rosuvastatin for atherosclerosis in rabbit models. This study shows that abdominal aorta wall in both control and treated rabbits get thicker with prolonged continuous feeding of cholesterol, aortic plaques grows bigger with this progression. The MRI vascular wall imaging measured atherosclerotic plaques with well correlation of histological classifications. Statical regression showed that the group with rosuvastatin treatment reduced the aortic plaques comparing to the control rabbits.
