Diffuse aortic atherosclerosis. Renal artery, superior mesenteric artery, celiac trunk calcifications - CT Scan
Coloured Axial CT scan with contrast enhancement. A 79-year-old-female patient. Hyperdense formations are found on the walls of the abdominal aorta, renal arteries (RAs, LRA, LRA), superior mesenteric artery (SMA), celiac trunk (CT) - diffuse aortic atherosclerosis, renal artery, superior mesenteric artery, celiac trunk calcifications. A plaque is a raised focal lesion within the intima. It comprises a soft necrotic core (predominantly lipids, foam cells and debris) surrounded by chronic inflammatory cells, smooth muscle cells and neovascularization (covered by a fibrous cap). Plaques often undergo calcification, as shown on these images.
