📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: To investigate the contribution of multiplanar sections to vertebral fracture detection by examining the multislice computed tomography(CT) images of patients who were referred to our emergency department (ED) with trauma.Materials and Methods: We scanned 896 patients who were referred to our ED between 01.06.2016 and 01.06.2018 and whose multisliceCTs were taken with a vertebral fracture pre-diagnosis made by the ED physician.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The differences between axial and coronal sagittal reformatimages in the detection of vertebral fractures were compared in 78 cases that were found with a fracture in their tomographies.Results: The average age of the 78 cases was 55.93±23.23 years.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:While there were no significant differences between axial and coronal sagittal reformat imaging techniques in thedifferentiation of cervical fractures, differences were found between the techniques for thoracic and lumbar fractures (p=0.636, p

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the contribution of multiplanar sections to vertebral fracture detection by examining the multislice computed tomography(CT) images of patients who were referred to our emergency department (ED) with trauma.Materials and Methods: We scanned 896 patients who were referred to our ED between 01.06.2016 and 01.06.2018 and whose multisliceCTs were taken with a vertebral fracture pre-diagnosis made by the ED physician. The differences between axial and coronal sagittal reformatimages in the detection of vertebral fractures were compared in 78 cases that were found with a fracture in their tomographies.Results: The average age of the 78 cases was 55.93±23.23 years. In total, 145 fractures were detected in the 78 cases. Twenty-four fractureswere detected in 12 cases in the cervical area, 67 were detected in 36 cases in the thoracic area, and 54 fractures were detected in 30 casesin the lumbar area. While there were no significant differences between axial and coronal sagittal reformat imaging techniques in thedifferentiation of cervical fractures, differences were found between the techniques for thoracic and lumbar fractures (p=0.636, p
