What Does This X-ray Report Mean?
I had an x-ray at an urgent care after a rear end collision auto accident. My x-ray finding states soft tissues are grossly intact with bilateral corticated calcifications in the upper neck which could represent submandibular gland or parotid calcifications. What does this mean. Should I be worried and should I ste up an appointment with my internist?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bilateral corticated calcifications in the upper neck suggesting submandibular or parotid calcifications means, there can be stones in the salivary glands or tonsills. nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. If the stones are bigger in size, then it can be removed surgically.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
