Missed incidental vertebral compression fractures on computed tomography imaging: More optimism justified

摘要

Missed incidental vertebral compression fractures on computed tomography (CT) imaging are a common problem. Although numerous publications are available on this topic, recent publications still show a high percentage of such missed fractures. The rate of such missed fractures in the authors department is much lower than that in the reported literature when routine multiplanar reconstructions are used for reporting CT scans. Therefore, a more optimistic view on this topic seems to be justified.
