Common Carotid Angiogram. This projection is similar to the standard neck projection in MRA - the image is centered over where the common carotid artery bifurcates into the internal carotid and external carotid arteries. The origin of the internal carotid artery is a common site for atherosclerosis and subsequent stroke and/or TIAs.
