Bifid Rib With an Unusual Appearance on Axial Computed Tomography
By Yuya Okuyama, Tsuyoshi Nojima, Kohei Tokioka and 1 others.
Abstract
ABSTRACT When a rib appears focally elongated on axial CT, a bifid rib should be considered. Contiguous axial and multiplanar review can clarify this benign congenital anatomy and help avoid misinterpreting it as a pathological osseous lesion.
