A member asked:

What can cause ct test to show a surgical clip under the arm when a person never had a surgery, no pain in the area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

One explanation is that it is not your CT and there has been a mix up in the imaging results of two people.
