Spectrum and detection of musculoskeletal findings on trauma-related CT torso examinations.

This study aims (1) to evaluate the spectrum of musculoskeletal (MSK) findings detected on trauma-related torso CT exams performed in the emergency department and (2) to identify the findings of high clinical importance that are underreported. Following IRB approval, two fellowship-trained MSK radiologists independently reviewed 200 consecutive trauma CT torso examinations performed at a level 1 trauma center, focusing on MSK findings. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus.
