It hasn't been quite as busy at clinical, but that is o.k, need a break from the craziness. Recently a 39 year old male presented as an outpatient. He had an ATV accident two days prior and was seen in the emergency room. He had plain x-rays that showed a sternal fracture. He had a round knot to the right of his sternum which is causing him great pain. I placed a radiopaque CT BB marker on the middle of the knot. I scanned him using the routine chest protocol. I used 60 cc of Omnipaque 350 and reformated them in sagittal and coronal images. The radiologist read it as a small ovoid fluid collection measuring 3.3 x 1.1 cm possibly a resolving hematoma or fat necrosis.
