Thoracopagus twins studied with computed tomography.

Chest and abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed preoperatively in a case of thoracopagus twins. Although in this case some information regarding the joined hearts and livers and the separate pairs of kidneys was obtained by CT, it is evident that other examinations are still needed to evaluate the various organ systems. This is particularly true for angiocardiography.
