Ct in differential diagnostics of pathological vertebral fractures
Abstract
Examination data of CT with multiplanar reconstruction of 109 pathological vertebral fractures were studied. The sensitivity of the method and the negative predictive value was 100%. This indicates the high accuracy of CT with multiplanar reconstruction in determining the group with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The specificity is lower and amounts 85–88%, indicating the limitations of this method in determining the group with pathologic fractures on the background of the tumor lesion.
