Abstract

Upon development of the sternum, wide variations in the sternum result from the variability of the number and configuration of the ossification centers, and different degrees of ossification. Multiplanar-reformed and volume-rendered images using multidetector row CT (MDCT) are useful to evaluate the wide variation of sternum. The purpose of this article is to show the MDCT findings of sternal variation.
