  		Fig. 1C. —2-month-old boy with partial duplication of mid trachea. Volume-rendered images of tracheobronchial tree show anterior (C) and left posterior oblique (D) projections with and without lung parenchyma, respectively. Extent and configuration of duplicated mid trachea are seen better on left posterior oblique image (D). Accessory lumen (arrows) appears stenotic at mid segment.
