Purpose:
The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of fractures and incidental findings (IF) with emphasis on clinical significance.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 784 patients were evaluated by computed tomography. Fractures and IF were registered and classified as significant if they were recommended for additional diagnostics or therapy.
Results:
Four hundred seventy of 784 patients (60%) sustained a fracture. Significant fractures were found in 694/1213 fractures (57%); nonsignificant fractures were found in 519/1213 (43%) fractures. A total of 972 IF were observed in 464/784 (59%) patients. Significant findings were found in 358/972 findings (37%). There were 1.5 fractures and 1.2 IF per patient.
Conclusion:
There is a high prevalence of significant fractures (57%) and IF (37%).

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
