Vertebral Artery Calcifications on Implant Evaluation

65-year-old male

01

The Finding

A 65-year-old male was referred for implant placement evaluation. During full-volume review, the radiologist identified calcifications within the vertebral arteries. This finding typically indicates significant plaque burden and suggests other vascular areas may also be affected. Referral to the patient's primary care provider was recommended for evaluation of atherosclerosis. The radiologist noted that while carotid calcifications are more commonly identified, vertebral artery calcifications should not be overlooked.
