This stock medical exhibit features a skeletal view of the upper body of a female figure revealing the anterior (front) aspect of the chest. This image clearly reveals the comminuted, mildly displaced and slightly depressed fracture of the upper aspect of the body of the sternum. This image is based specifically on post-accident x-rays and CT scans. Beside this image is an inset side cut-away view of the thorax mounted beside a CT film print displaying the close proximity of the heart to the sternum.
