Abstract: Objectives: To compare diagnosis performance and effective dose of ultra-low-dose CT (ULD CT) versus radiographs in suspected spinal or pelvic ring or hip fracture for minor trauma. Methods: ULD CT, in addition to radiography, was prospectively performed in consecutive patients admitted to the emergency department for minor traumas, during working hours over 2 months. Presence of a recent fracture was assessed by two blind radiologists independently. Sensitivities and specificities were estimated using the best valuable comparator (BVC) as a reference and using a latent class model in Bayesian inference (BLCM). Dosimetric indicators were recorded and effective doses (E) were calculated using conversion coefficient. Results: Eighty areas were analyzed in 69 patients, including 22 dorsal spine, 28 lumbar spine, and 30 pelvic ring/hip. Thirty-six fractures (45%) were observed. Applying the BVC method, depending on location, ULD CT sensitivity was 80 to 100% for reader 1 and 85 to 100% for reader 2, whereas radiographic sensitivity was 60 to 85% for reader 1 and 50 to 92% for reader 2. With BLCM approach for reader 2, ULD CT sensitivity for all locations/dorsal spine/lumbar spine and pelvic ring-hip was 87.1/75.9/84.2/76.9% respectively. Corresponding radiograph sensitivity was 73.8, 54.8, 80.4, and 68.7%. Effective doses of ULD CT were similar to radiographs for dorsal and hip locations whereas for lumbar spine, ULD CT effective dose was 1.83 ± 0.59 mSv compared with 0.96 ± 0.59 mSv (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Sensitivity for fracture detection was higher for ULD CT compared with radiographs with an effective dose comparable to radiographs. Key Points: • Ultra-low-dose spine and pelvis CT demonstrates better fracture detection when compared with radiographs. • The effective dose of ultra-low-dose spine and pelvis CT scan and radiographs is comparable. • Replacement of radiographs by ULD CT in daily practice for trauma patients is an option to consider and should be evaluated by a randomized trial.
