Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate the strengths and limitations of a rib-unfolding software in a polytrauma context.
Materials And Methods: Chest computed tomography (CT) examinations of 110 patients were reviewed for specific detection of rib fractures using: (1) transverse CT sections ± multiplanar reformattings (ie, the standard of reference), and (2) unfolded rib images reconstructed by the CT Bone Reading software with the possibility of rib analysis along their long axis and creation of standard orthogonal views in different orientations of any area suspected of fracture.
Results: The software provided complete reconstruction of the whole rib cage in 94 patients (85.
