To assess parameter agreement of volume transfer coefficient (Ktrans) between two vascular regions and to study the correlation with microvessel density on histology. The dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE‐MRI) parameter Ktrans is frequently used to study atherosclerotic plaque microvasculature. Ktrans has been reported using different descriptive statistics (mean, median, 75th percentile) either for the whole vessel wall or the adventitia in previous studies.
