Measurement of Myocardial Extracellular Volume Fraction From Iodine Density Images Using Single-Source, Dual-Energy Computed Tomography: A Feasibility Study.
The aims of this study were to develop and validate an iodine density method for the quantification of myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) fraction using single-source, dual-energy computed tomography. ⋯ Extracellular volume analysis using iodine density is a useful tool for the noninvasive quantification of ECV in myocardial diseases.

Sternal Development and Variations and Anomalies in Patients With Microtia: Evaluation Using 3-Dimensional Computed Tomography.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate sternal development and variations in patients with microtia and to identify the incidence of congenital sternal anomalies and then to investigate the interaction between microtia and sternal anomalies. ⋯ The development of the different components of the sternum is a process with wide variation among patients with microtia. A different distribution of mesosternal types I to II among our population age range was found, and the incidence of sternal foramina was lower in patients with microtia.
