Carotid stenosis, X-ray of the right artery
From DrKoop's partner site on depression, MyDepressionConnection.com
This is an angiogram of the right carotid artery showing a severe narrowing (stenosis) of the internal carotid artery just past the carotid fork. There is enlargement of the artery or ulceration in the area after the stenosis in this close-up film. Note the narrowed segment toward the bottom of the picture.
