ROC curves for the ability of strong plaque enhancement and high homocysteine (Hcy) level to determine ischemic stroke. The AUC was 0.755 and 0.715 for strong plaque enhancement and high Hcy level, respectively. The combination of them after adjusting for sex, age, serum creatinine levels and other traditional atherosclerotic risk factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, current smoker) in model 2 significantly improved the AUC to 0.871
