Fig. 3B —Two patients evaluated for atherosclerosis. RA = radial
artery, UA = ulnar artery. 79-year-old man. CT angiography image obtained
using volume-rendering technique shows atherosclerosis: calcified plaques in
combination with vessel wall irregularity of ulnar artery and distal
tortuosity of ulnar artery (arrows). In contrast, radial artery is
sharply delineated with smooth margins without apparent atherosclerosis.
Volume-rendering technique permits rotation of up to 360° around
longitudinal plane and allows optimal visualization of both vessels.
