Fig. 1From: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance for the detection of descending thoracic aorta calcification in patients with end-stage renal diseaseSagittal (a) radial-volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and (b) computed-tomography (CT) images of descending thoracic aorta. A 9 cm segment of thoracic aorta from the same patient is chosen on both CT and radial-VIBE images. Red horizontal lines mark the level of the top of the vertebra that is closest to the inferior surface of the heart. Yellow vertical lines correspond to 9 cm of thoracic aortaBack to article page
