New scanner aims to spot fractures with less radiation

NCT ID NCT04074733

Summary

This study tested a new type of medical scanner designed to use much less radiation than standard X-rays. Researchers compared how well this 'Ultra Low-Dose' scanner and standard X-rays could find broken bones in the back, pelvis, arms, and legs of 554 emergency room patients. The main goal was to see if the new, safer scanner was just as good at finding fractures as the older methods.
