| Using a commercially available calcium scoring tool the abdominal aorta was divided into 3 regions: suprarenal (1 cm above the celiac axis to 1cm below the renal arteries), laminar (1 cm below the renals to 1 cm above the bifurcation), bifurcation (1 cm above and below the aortic bifurcation). Each image illustrates a manually placed region of interest and electronically detected calcification within the wall of the aorta in each of the three regions. Detected calcium is seen in red. The laminar region of the aorta contained the highest calcification score. |
