Sponsor's own description

Stress fractures (fatigue or insufficiency fracture) are caused by the mismatch between bone strength and chronic stress applied to the bone. The vast majority of these fractures occur in the lower extremity. Early-stage diagnosis is crucial to optimize patient care. Appropriate imaging is relevant in confirming diagnosis after clinical suspicion of stress fractures. Radiographs have low sensitivity, so a relevant number of fractures go undetected. MRI has a high sensitivity, but its availability is limited, and its respective examination time is prolonged. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of PCCT in lower extremity stress fractures as a dose-saving technology, guaranteeing an examination according to the ALARA-principle (as low as reasonably achievable).
