Cone-beam computed tomography compared to X-ray in diagnosis of extremities bone fractures: A study of 198 cases

Abstract: CBCT is an imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography, in which the x-rays are divergent, forming a cone.During 2015, a new model of CBCT, New Tom 5G XL (Verona), was used in the Radiology Department of The University of Verona, in collaboration with the Orthopaedics Department. Our study was carried out from October 2015 to October 2016 (198 patients). We compared CBCT with standard x-ray in the diagnosis of foot and anke fractures (and Lisfranc lesions), tibial plateau fractures, wrist and sca… Show more

“…Several studies have reported on the use of this technique for the early diagnosis of fractures, including the analysis of lower extremities in an upright position, the detection of syndesmosis injuries while using different angles for visualizing the lower extremities. This technology is also often used in dentistry in pediatric populations [ [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] ]. In addition, this technique enables a lower radiation dose compared to CT (comparison between dose on XR and CBCT) [ 36 ].…”

“…CBCT is a novel imaging technique using divergent X-rays that form a cone, which is increasingly used in extremity imaging, though its initial application was in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery [ 22 , 23 ]. CBCT enables better fracture detection at extremity sites compared to standard radiography [ 24 ]. Furthermore, the spatial resolution of CBCT is higher and the radiation dose exposure is lower compared to conventional multislice CT [ 25 ].…”

“…Recently, several studies have investigated the use of CBCT for diagnosing scaphoid fractures 12 16 . In these studies, diagnostic performance results have been inconsistent and have not been previously synthesized through a meta-analysis.…”
