| Research Abstract |
By interpreting CT images before dissection, an anomaly of the right subclavian artery was detected. The anomaly was verified to be the right subclavian artery as the last branch of the aortic arch by subsequent dissection of the cadaver. We also identified an anomalous origin of the right vertebral artery by dissection. This anomaly was also visible on CT images, although it had not been recognized in the first interpretation. The present results suggest that branching anomalies of arteries which have a diameter of more than 1 cm are detectable on CT images even without injection of contrast medium. Thus, CT scanning of donated cadavers and introduction of CT images from the cadavers to gross anatomy laboratories might be very useful for better understanding of human body structure by medical students.
