The authors evaluated a simple scoring system for assessing sternal healing after sternotomy.  Observers had close agreement as to how CT findings matched the scoring system.  There was no attempt at correlating CT findings with clinical results.  Healing scores increased over time, indicating some correlation with biologic behavior.
