Fig. 1From: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging of aorto-iliac and ilio-femoral vascular calcifications using proton density-weighted in-phase stack of starsExamples of PDIP-SOS CMR (right) in comparison to CTA (left) for: (a) 66-year-old female imaged at 1.5 Tesla showing mild vascular calcifications (Group 1), (b) 80-year-old male imaged at 1.5 Tesla showing moderate vascular calcifications (Group 2), and (c) 68-year-old female imaged at 3 Tesla showing severe vascular calcifications (Group 3). Vascular calcifications (arrows) appear dark with PDIP-CMR (presented as thin minimum intensity projections), and bright with CTA (presented as thin maximum intensity projections). There is excellent correlation between CMR and CTA irrespective of lesion severityBack to article page
