Figure 2

DSCT images of a 56 -year- old man with diabetes for 15 years , 1 year of cold feet, show diffuse plaques and stenoses in both lower extremities. A, Volume-rendered reconstruction (VRT) after dual energy bone removal displays overview of both lower extremities with a mild stenosis (white arrow), an occlusion (blue arrow) and a compensatory artery (white triangle) in the right femoral artery. B, Maximum intensity projection (MIP) depicts the overview of plaques and stenosis. C, Both the mild stenosis (white arrow) and occlusion (blue arrow) are caused by non-calcified plaque as evidenced using curved planar reformation (CPR).
