FIGURE 2.
CT images of intracranial artery calcification. According to Babiarz’s method, calcifications were graded as follows: (A) Calcifications in the right internal carotid artery (green), 3 for extent and 2 for thickness; left internal carotid artery (white), 4 for extent and 3 for thickness. (B) Calcifications in the right vertebral artery (yellow), 3 for extent and 3 for thickness; left vertebral artery (blue), 2 for extent and 2 for thickness. According to Woodcock scoring, calcifications were graded as follows: (C) Calcifications in the basilar artery, severe (thick, continuous). (D) Calcifications in the middle cerebral artery calcification, moderate (thick, discontinuous). (A,B) Were from Wu et al. (2016).
