This week I’m onto a calcification encountered in the soft tissue of the brain; the pineal gland. It appears as a well-defined radiopaque entity in the mid-line of the brain superior to the spinal column.
Another entity from my book (Interpretation Basics of Cone Beam Computed Tomography). If you have any questions or comments about pineal gland calcification, please leave them below. Thanks and enjoy!
We see them in about a quarter of our CBCTs.
That’s quite a bit. I’d have to go back and see how many cases we have them in.
