Calcifications in the neck region of patients with carotid artery stenosis: A computed tomography angiography study of topographic anatomy

ConclusionsThe carotid bifurcation is in close proximity to various calcified anatomical structures. This should be taken into account when diagnosing CCPs in panoramic radiographs (PRs). In the coronal view, CCPs and the cervical spine are often superimposed; thus, coronal images are not recommended for confirmation of putative carotid calcifications diagnosed on PRs.
