2 Fig. 1 Axial CT at the level of the clavicular heads. There is abnormal fluid density along the medial aspect of the clavicular head (arrows). Note the absence of cortical bone of the left clavicular head adjacent to the fluid collection, consistent with osteomyelitis (arrowheads). This patient underwent resection of the clavicular head.
