“…A 52‐year‐old female presented for a carotid artery ultrasound study as part of a research study 1 investigating the relationship between the presence of carotid artery calcification on orthopantomograms and clinically significant carotid artery stenosis. She was not taking any regular medication, was a regular smoker but was otherwise well and healthy.…”

Anomalous vascular anatomy was detected in the neck of a 52-year-old female with a Klippel-Feil anomaly. Ultrasound identified three separate arteries in the left carotid sheath without any branching or bifurcations. The vascular waveforms were used to identify the vessels as the internal carotid artery, external carotid artery and vertebral artery. This rare vascular anomaly was confirmed with CT angiography.

“…The peripheral area of an OPT (Fig 1) shows the temporomanibular joints, maxillary sinus, parts of the orbital cavities, and soft tissues of the neck including the hyoid bone, where typical anomalies contain cysts or tumors of the soft and hard tissue or calcifications of salivary glands, lymph nodes or the carotid artery. Anomalies located in the peripheral area are of rather low prevalence [18,19] whereas high prevalence anomalies are predominantly located in the central area.…”

How massed practice improves visual expertise in reading panoramic radiographs in dental students: An eye tracking study

The interpretation of medical images is an error-prone process that may yield severe consequences for patients. In dental medicine panoramic radiography (OPT) is a frequently used diagnostic procedure. OPTs typically contain multiple, diverse anomalies within one image making the diagnostic process very demanding, rendering students’ development of visual expertise a complex task. Radiograph interpretation is typically taught through massed practice; however, it is not known how effective this approach is nor how it changes students’ visual inspection of radiographs. Therefore, this study investigated how massed practice–an instructional method that entails massed learning of one type of material–affects processing of OPTs and the development of diagnostic performance. From 2017 to 2018, 47 dental students in their first clinical semester diagnosed 10 OPTs before and after their regular massed practice training, which is embedded in their curriculum. The OPTs contained between 3 to 26 to-be-identified anomalies. During massed practice they diagnosed 100 dental radiographs without receiving corrective feedback. The authors recorded students’ eye movements and assessed the number of correctly identified and falsely marked low- and high prevalence anomalies before and after massed practice. Massed practice had a positive effect on detecting anomalies especially with low prevalence (p < .001). After massed practice students covered a larger proportion of the OPTs (p < .001), which was positively related to the detection of low-prevalence anomalies (p = .04). Students also focused longer, more frequently, and earlier on low-prevalence anomalies after massed practice (ps < .001). While massed practice improved visual expertise in dental students with limited prior knowledge, there is still substantial room for improvement. The results suggest integrating massed practice with more deliberate practice, where, for example, corrective feedback is provided, and support is adapted to students’ needs.

“…11 The prevalence is lower within populations that include participants within a wider age range (9-99 years). [12][13][14] The presence of CCAA on PR is associated with MI, and an even stronger association has been shown between CCAA combined with periodontitis and MI. 10,15 Several other studies have also revealed associations between CCAA and different cardiovascular conditions.…”
