Figure Fig. 3. — Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography in a patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Axial view of the aneurysm as seen on computed tomography (A) shows a sac with thrombus and calcified plaque in the aortic wall. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (B) can differentiate between the lumen (*), thrombus (•) and adjacent structures. T2* magnetic resonance imaging (C) shows high ultrasmall particles of iron oxide uptake (arrow) in the wall of the aneurysm. The sagittal computed tomography view (D) delineates the morphology of the aneurysm. 18F-Sodium Fluoride uptake (E) seen anterior to the vertebral body (arrows). Superimposing positron emission tomography signals over the computed tomography images (F) confirms high 18F-Sodium Fluoride uptake at the aneurysm neck, bifurcation and left common iliac artery (arrows).
