Dubreuil T, et al. - Via prospectively involving 36 patients with suspected fracture affecting distal extremities or who required preoperative fracture assessment, researchers evaluated the agreement between multislice computed tomography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the characterization of extremity fractures and compared image quality, radiation dose, and patient tolerance. Each patient was subjected to the same day CBCT and multislice computed tomography. Findings revealed that cone-beam computed tomography was well tolerated, much less irradiant, and had a better subjective image. An excellent agreement has been found between the two imaging techniques. This confirms CBCT's ability to evaluate fractures and their potential in managing distal limb trauma patients.
