Figure 1 Sample in vivo images of greed coded regions (monosodium urate deposits) within the different vascular territories. Coronary arteries (left panel), ascending and descending aorta (2^nd from left), descending abdominal aorta and iliac arteries (right panels). Monosodium urate deposition is color coded in green whereas calcium is coded in purple/pink. ATA: Ascending thoracic aorta; DTA: Descending thoracic aorta; DAA: Descending abdominal aorta.
