Are you certain those pix are for real? Any metal in a CT causes
artifacts in the image (even some fillings will do it) A huge steel hook?


Those looked like coronal "scout scans" rather than a CT slice which would be
an axial (horizontal on a standing person) slice, so the artifact you'd expect
won't be there - it's a straight x-ray at that point, no reconstruction
involved.

Ok Dave, you're probably right, I thought they were MIPs when I looked
at them first, but scouts would make sense.

But do you think they are genuine?
