Consistency between contrast-enhanced computed tomography maximum intensity projection image and superficial mammary vein construction visualized via AccuVein®. a The contrast-enhanced computed tomography maximum intensity projection image shows the perforating branches of the internal thoracic vein (yellow arrow). b AccuVein® clearly visualizes the subcutaneous mammary veins. This is completely identical to the vascular construction shown in the contrast-enhanced computed tomography maximum intensity projection image
