Described herein are radiographs of the heart and aorta at necropsy after "cleaning" these structures of extraneous tissue. As a consequence, the quantity of calcium is far more discernible than by computed tomography or magnetic resonance or ultrasonic imaging during life or before extraneous tissues are removed at necropsy. We illustrate these radiographic images at necropsy in three patients to show that the relative amount of calcific deposits in the coronary arteries and aorta may be subjectively similar or one of these structures may have far more calcium in the arterial walls than the other. The reasons for these differences are unclear.
本文展示的是在对心脏和主动脉的这些结构“清理”掉多余组织后尸检时的X光片。因此,与生前通过计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像或超声成像相比,或者与尸检时去除多余组织之前相比,钙的含量要明显得多。我们展示了三名患者尸检时的这些X光片图像,以表明冠状动脉和主动脉中钙化沉积物的相对量在主观上可能相似,或者这些结构中的一个在动脉壁中的钙含量可能比另一个多得多。这些差异的原因尚不清楚。
