What is this image? This is a lateral radiograph of the soft tissues of the neck. The x-ray beam is modified to produce an image that will show the air in the pharynx and larynx well. The hyoid bone is outlined in orange.

This is a normal comparison study in a different patient. What looks different between the two studies in the region of the hyoid bone?
