Abstract

Examination data of CT with multiplanar reconstruction of 109 pathological vertebral fractures were studied. The sensitivity of the method and the negative predictive value was 100%. This indicates the high accuracy of CT with multiplanar reconstruction in determining the group with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The specificity is lower and amounts 85–88%, indicating the limitations of this method in determining the group with pathologic fractures on the background of the tumor lesion.
