A standardized multisequence protocol and identical phased\u2010array carotid coils were used. Expert readers, blinded to subject information, scanner type, and time point, measured the lumen, wall, and total vessel areas and determined the modified American Heart Association lesion type (AHA\u2010LT) on the cross\u2010sectional images.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>AHA\u2010LT was consistently identified across the same (\u03ba = 0.75) and different scan platforms (\u03ba = 0.75). Furthermore, scan\u2010rescan coefficients of variation (CV) of wall area measurements on Siemens and Philips scanners ranged from 6.3% to 7.5%. However, wall area measurements differed between Philips and GE (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.003) and between Siemens and GE (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.05). In general, intrareader reproducibility was higher than interreader reproducibility for AHA\u2010LT identification as well as for quantitative measurements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>All three scanners produced images that allowed AHA\u2010LT to be consistently identified. Reproducibility of quantitative measurements by Siemens and Philips scanners were comparable to previous studies using 1.5T GE scanners. However, bias was introduced with each scanner and the use of different readers substantially increased variability. We therefore recommend using the same platform and the same reader for scans of individual subjects undergoing serial assessment of carotid atherosclerosis. J. Magn. Reson.
