X-Ray Radiology in Differential Diagnostics of Pathological Vertebral Fractures

https://doi.org/10.37174/2587-7593-2019-2-3-31-39

Abstract

Examination data of X-Ray of 106 pathological vertebral fractures were studied. The sensitivity of the method was 92.9 %. This indicates the high accuracy of X-Ray in determining the group with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The specificity is lower and amounts 81 %, indicating the limitations of this method in determining the group with pathologic fractures on the background of the tumor lesion.
