Processing and interpretation of CT results. a–c Coronal plane views and sagittal plane rendering generated with Osirix MIP Thick Slab mode set to 10 mm sections. d–f Coronal plane views and sagittal plane rendering generated with Osirix MIP Thick Slab mode set to 2 mm sections. g Unique depression in tsantsa head (red arrow). Height discrepancy between depression on left side of suture line and head surface on right side of suture line results in the double hiding-like appearance when the CT data is processed in > 7 mm sections. h Location of sagittal cut in 3D volume rendering for visualization of double hiding. i 3D volume rendering after sagittal cut shows only papillary layer remaining in tsantsa head
