This artery has a characteristic hairpin turn connection with the anterior spinal artery (arrowhead). (b, d) Images from MR angiography (b) and CT angiography (d), produced with curved planar reformation (CPR), show continuity of the aorta, right 10th intercostal artery (large black arrow), radiculomedullary artery (small black arrow), artery of Adamkiewicz (white arrow), and anterior spinal artery (arrowhead).
