From: Magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging of a carotid body tumor in a dog
Transverse T2W SE images at the level of the caudal part of the bulla (a), cranial part of the atlas (b) and the mid part of the axis (c). A heterogenous, hyperintense mass (carotid body tumor) (black asterisk) is visible on the left side, with multiple signal voids of vessels. The mass splays the ICA more medially (large arrow) and the ECA more laterally (small arrow). Laterally a homogeneous, hyperintense encapsulated mass (medial retropharyngeal lymph node) (white asterisk) is visible. The mass is located between the CCA (arrowhead) and the mandibular gland (m) (panel b) and more caudally between the CCA and the m. sternocephalicus (s).
