Dental scanner trialed for broken bones

NCT ID NCT01796600

Summary

This study tested if a cone-beam CT scanner, commonly used for dental imaging, could be as good as a standard CT scanner at finding and classifying broken bones in the hands and feet. 43 adult patients with suspected fractures had both scans. Researchers compared how well each scan identified the type of fracture and the condition of nearby soft tissues.
