Diganostic Values of Bone Scan Followed by CT Scan in Undetected Pelvic bone Fracture
Abstract
- Pelvic bone is complex in its shape, so we often miss to find the fractures in cases with unclear fracture line. We studied 25 patients who were suspected to have occult fractures in pelvic area. We were able to find lots of occult fractures with bone scan followed by CT scan. The results were as follows; 1. There were 31 unexpected hot spots in 25 patients in bone scan. 2. Six cases (19.3%j of new injuries were found on re-evaluation of plain film or additionally rechecked plain films. 3. Twenty-one new fractures (67.7%) were found on CT film study. 4. Total 27 additional fractures (89.1%) were found after bone scan followed CT scan. In conclusion Bone Scan followed by CT is a effective method of detecting occult fracture in pelvic area.
