Spanish term or phrase: Tac Torax CLC

This is the only item on a medical imaging centre invoice.
It's the CLC that has me stumped: could it be a CT scan of the thorax and both clavicles? I've found several medical acronyms, but none of them really fit the context.

N.B. CLC might just be CIC :it's handwritten, by a dope-smoking doctor, probably :-)

Thanks for all your efforts: CIC, and therefore Dave's answer, make most sense given the very limited source context.

CT colonography

Explanation:
I was wondering that maybe the doctor needed both things checked with the CT scan. Just another idea... :D

CT/CAT Scan CLC or CIC

Explanation:
As for the TAC= CT/CAT Scan nowadays is only translated as CT( Computerised Tomography). In the past it was CAT -being A= axial but it isn´t anymore.
If you have any chances of reading CIC it could be: chest is clear. If it is the result of the tomography could be that.

CLC: I thought of another possibility if what you read is CLC that could be Congenial Laryngeal Cyst that is a rare cause of stridor basically in children.
CLC: other possibilities: Cholesteric Liquid crystal film that is particularly used when dealing with CT Scan

I do continue searching and thinking :) Maybe the doctor suspects the existance of a tumor or cyst in the area so CLC could also stand for: ****Cholangiolocellular carcinoma if there is a risk of tumor.

Thoracic CT may show many disorders of the heart, lungs, or chest area, including:

Enlarged lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy)
Abnormalities of the structure or position of the heart, lungs, or blood vessels
Bronchiectasis
++++++Tumors, nodules, or cysts within the chest ++++++
The stage of some lung tumors or esophageal cancer
Aortic aneurysm (thoracic)
Pleural effusion
Pneumonia

Reference information:
Well, in Chile they widely use CLC for Clínica Las Condes (even in Scientific publications!). May I suggest you e-mail the clinic and ask them directly ... by guessing, the recipient doctor may loose valuable info!
Have a nice day
