  		Fig. 2 —70-year-old man with suprasternal tubercle and manubriosternal and sternoxiphoidal fusions. Coronal curved-planar reconstructed MDCT image reveals complete manubriosternal and sternoxiphoidal fusions and right suprasternal tubercle (arrow).

  		Fig. 4 —60-year-old woman with sternal foramen and sclerotic band. Coronal multiplanar reconstructed MDCT image shows sternal foramen in inferior sternal body associated with sternal sclerotic band (arrows).

  		Fig. 7 —35-year-old man with triple-ended xiphoid processes. Coronal maximum-intensity-projection MDCT image shows triple ending of xiphoid processes.

 

Figure 8

  		Fig. 8 —60-year-old man with long xiphoid process. Coronal maximum-intensity-projection MDCT image shows xiphoid process longer than usual.

 

Figure 9

  		Fig. 10 —58-year-old man with xiphoidal ligament calcification. Coronal maximum-intensity-projection MDCT image depicts bilateral xiphoidal ligament calcifications (arrows).

 

Figure 11
View larger version (132K):

[in a new window]
  		Fig. 11 —58-year-old woman with sternoxiphoidal pseudocleft. Coronal multiplanar reconstructed MDCT image shows pseudocleft at incomplete fused sternoxiphoidal junction (arrow).

 

Figure 12
View larger version (115K):

[in a new window]
  		Fig. 12 —56-year-old man with sternoxiphoidal pseudoforamen. Coronal multiplanar reconstructed MDCT image shows complete fusion at sternoxiphoidal junction except small pseudoforamen (arrow).
