(A) Computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the abdomen (axial view) showing the abdominal aortic aneurysm with a maximum diameter of 54 mm. (B) CT angiogram of the abdomen (axial view) demonstrating a 58 mm diameter abdominal aortic aneurysm following a five month interval. (C) Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) CT showing abnormal FDG uptake within the aneurysmal wall. Note: Moderately prominent radiotracer uptake in the left ventricular myocardium probably represents physiological tracer uptake related to the dietary preparation for the study and is not thought to represent endocarditis. (D) Axial view of the FDG PET CT.
