Earthquake-related versus non-earthquake-related injuries in spinal injury patients: differentiation with multidetector computed tomography

摘要

IntroductionIn recent years, several massive earthquakes have occurred across the globe. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is reliable in detecting spinal injuries. The purpose of this study was to compare the features of spinal injuries resulting from the Sichuan earthquake with those of non-earthquake-related spinal trauma using MDCT.
