Abstract

We report a retrospective observational series of patients undergoing digital tomosynthesis (DTS) for suspected scaphoid fractures. With a specificity and sensitivity of 100%, DTS demonstrates the potential to be an excellent tool in the diagnosis of occult scaphoid fractures.

Keywords: Scaphoid; diagnosis; digital tomosynthesis; fracture; scaphoid fracture.
