Male patient 55-year-old, non-smoker, non-diabetic, non-hypertensive. He underwent PET/CT for nasopharyngeal cancer staging. Non contrast (a, b) and post contrast CT images (c, d) showed minimal intimal thickening of the thoracic aorta reaching 3 mm with no obvious calcification denoting early atherosclerotic disease. Note the difference between the early PET images (e, f) and delayed images (g, h) with retention of FDG within the aortic wall (arrows)
