Anatomic regions classification

Multislice CT is extremely sensitive in the detection of fractures, and source images together with rendered reconstructions can display the spatial relationship of fracture fragments in complex anatomic regions. Complementary CT examination of intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia caused in 64% of subjects a change in the surgical treatment, and in 82% additional information concerning the fracture characterization and classification (Burkhardt et al. 2003).
