Summary

This study compared a new ultra low-dose CT scanner to standard X-rays for finding broken bones in the back, pelvis, arms, and legs. 554 emergency room patients with suspected fractures were scanned with both methods. The goal was to see if the low-dose scanner could detect fractures as accurately as standard X-rays while using much less radiation.
