Figure 3

Right-sided animation demonstrating measurements from the medial border of the clavicle (MBC) to points of interest. Structures are drawn to best depict measurement trajectories and not necessarily to scale. The following structures are abbreviated: FV: facial vein; CN XII: hypoglossal nerve; STA: superior thyroid artery; ECA/ICA: point above the bifurcation where the external-internal carotid artery crossover occurs; MP: mastoid process; CCB: common carotid bifurcation; AM: angle of mandible.
