Diagnostic usefulness of low-dose lumbar multi-detector CT with iterative reconstruction in trauma patients: acomparison with standard-dose CT

Abstract

The diagnostic performance of LDCT with IR for L-spine fractures was comparable to that of SDCT with IR, with a 47-69% reduction in the radiation dose. Advances in knowledge: LDCT scan can be used as a diagnostic imaging tool for evaluating trauma patients with suspected L-spine fractures.
