| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr">‘Chinese dragon sign’ describes the appearance of tortuous calcified splenic artery on an abdominal radiograph [<a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00261-019-02054-8#ref-CR1" target="_blank">1</a>, <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00261-019-02054-8#ref-CR2" target="_blank">2</a>]. The Dragon is a mythical creature and denoted generally as snake-like with four legs and considered one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac [<a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00261-019-02054-8#ref-CR3" target="_blank">3</a>] (Fig. <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00261-019-02054-8#Fig1" target="_blank">1</a>). The tortuous course with arterial wall calcification resembles the body of dragon, and the more tortuous coiled segment near the splenic hilum resembles the head of dragon (Fig. <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00261-019-02054-8#Fig2" target="_blank">2</a>).</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Abdominal Radiology<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00261-019-02054-8" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00261-019-02054-8</a></p> |
