Introduction and CT Reading Question

Hi @Sonoran_Sunset,

I would like to take a closer look at your CTA. Do you mind uploading it to DicomLibrary https://www.dicomlibrary.com/. That site will anonymize your CTA and allow me and the other members to look at the scan in greater detail. Then post the anonymized link here.

This is what I could see in the video and the pictures posted. This is just my opinion.

Styloids have some calcification and only the right styloid slightly touches the IJV, which is common. So probably not the typical case of Eagle’s with a lot of calcification along the styloid ligament.

There is a large reduction of clarity on the left IJV and carotid artery at C2. This may be because there is a lot of scatter coming from your molars that have metallic fillings or implants. If not it could be a possible site of impingement.

The other thing I saw is the right greater horn of your hyoid bone has trapped the carotid artery on the right side. We saw this recently with another member that posted on the forum. Opinions on my scans and images please - #5 by KoolDude
