Fig. 5 — Abnormal arterial wall NaF uptake has been observed down to the age of 20 and is most often present in the absence of CT-calcification. Upper panel: NaF uptake (right) in the thoracic aorta (yellow arrows) of a 24-year-old symptom-free male with no CT-visible calcification (left). Lower panel: 69-year-old male with angina pectoris and CT-visible calcification in the left anterior descending coronary artery and the descending thoracic aorta (white arrows, left) and NaF uptake in the same arteries, incongruent with CT-calcifications and with far greater circumferential extension in the aorta (yellow arrows, right) (images from material of references 23 and 30)
