Micro-computed tomography (µCT) and histological observations of the aorta and teeth in cadavers. Representative images from cadavers (A–D) without ectopic calcification and (E–H) with ectopic calcification. µCT images of (A, E) the aortic wall and (B, F) the canine teeth in cadavers. Scale bar: 2 mm. (C, G) Alizarin Red staining of the aortic wall. Scale bar: 700 µm. (D, H) H–E staining of canine teeth. d: dentin; p: pulp. Scale bar: 200 µm. Arrowheads indicate ectopic calcification.
