CT-generated Radiographs in Obese Patients With Acetabular Fractures: Can They Be Used in Lieu of Plain Radiographs? dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11999-014-3697-4 Background Acetabular fracture diagnosis is traditionally made with AP and oblique pelvic plain radiographs. Obesity may impair diagnostic accuracy of plain radiographs. New CT reconstruction algorithms allow for simulated radiographs that may eliminate the adverse imaging effects of obesity. Questions/purposes In obese patients with acetabular fractures, we compared CT-generated and plain radiographs in terms of (1) ability to classify fracture type, (2) agreement in fracture classification, and (3) surgeon performance at different experience levels.
