Fig. 2B. —31-year-old woman who presented after 3-m fall with burst
fracture of second lumbar vertebra. We compared image quality between
standardized 4-MDCT trauma protocol (4 x 2.5 mm collimation) and
thin-section spinal protocol (4 x 1 mm collimation). Axial thin-section
CT scan obtained using standard-of-reference protocol (4 x 1 mm
collimation) shows this image depicts fracture with image quality identical to
A. Fracture line can be seen crossing vertebral body
(arrowhead) and extending into left lamina (arrow).
