A member asked:
I have carotid calcification on my right side seen on a x-ray what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: As X-ray is not the optimal choice to diagnose carotid calcifications you may want to have your doc order an ultrasound which will better define if you have any associated plaque buildup in the carotid arteries.
