Incidental finding of the sternalis muscle on chest multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT): the diagnostic value of additional postprocessed MDCT images for an uncommon muscular variant.

چکیده
We herein report two cases of incidental finding of the sternalis muscle in the right anterior chest wall on multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT). We emphasize the diagnostic utility and value of additional postprocessed MDCT images, which can be easily created using volume data sets of MDCT, in establishing an accurate diagnosis of the sternalis muscle, an uncommon muscular variant.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of New Zealand rabbit antebrachium by multidetector computed tomography
The aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of New Zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images. Under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic MDCT. Biometric measurements of the reconstructed...
