Fig. 2C —Clustered bar charts show extent and severity of chest
injuries that were diagnosed on MDCT but missed on conventional radiography.
Number and severity of pneumothoraces (A), hemothoraces (B), and
pulmonary contusions (C), and number of rib fractures (D) are
shown for both selective MDCT algorithm (black bars) and routine MDCT
algorithm (white bars). Differences between black and white bars
illustrate number of injuries that would have been missed if only selective
MDCT algorithm had been used. One patient could have more injures. Number of
patients with rib fractures includes patients in whom presence of rib
fractures was already diagnosed at conventional radiography but in whom there
was discrepancy in number of rib fractures.
