While the structure has been thought absent in higher primate adults, data now suggests it may be present in adult humans. (12 Dec 1998) |

For spiral CT, the size of this volume is determined by the design of the instrument and the instrument settings. For the latest scanners, the voxel size can be 0.3 mm 0.3 mm 0.6 mm, yielding a volume of 0.054 mm 3 .
