Thorax cage phantom composed of ribs made of lead wire was laid on the table of axial transverse tomograph of horizontal type and the axial trans- verse tomograms were taken with the central X-ray of caudalocranial or crania- caudal direction with the range of rotation of 180°, rotating from the right, front and left side of the body. Obstructive shadow arose mostly when projected caudalocranial direction of central X-ray, while fairly few when taken with craniocaudal direction. With exposure of full rotation of 360°, the obstructive shadow was more faint than the above two. This was confirmed also with the human experiment.}, pages = {509--516}, title = {Obstructive Shadow of Ribs Imaged on the Axial Transverse Tomogram of the Chest}, volume = {31}, year = {1969} }
