Diagnostic value of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in occult scaphoid and wrist fractures
European Journal of Radiology Oct 23, 2017
Borel C, et al. - The objective of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for scaphoid and wrist fractures that are missed on standard radiographs. This study suggests that the CBCT is better than radiographs for diagnosing occult cortical fractures. Due to its low radiation dose, they believe that CBCT can be utilized in current practice as a replacement or supplement to radiographs to detect these fractures and optimize the cost-effectiveness ratio by limiting the number of needless immobilizations.
