[Oradlist] Opacity (Foreign bodies? in Panoramic

[Dr. Christiane Nobel]

Dear Gerard,

thank you very much for the answer, that is something I have never seen 
before (I could not find in any atlas either)
I will ask the patient next week, if she remembers any interventions 
with contrast media.

Best regards

Christiane
