Abstract:
Conventional radiography often fails to detect early or subtle musculoskeletal pathology because of limited sensitivity and anatomical overlap. Therefore, it is of interest to study prospectively evaluated CR, DT, LDCT and MRI against a composite reference standard in a tertiary MSK unit. Hence, a total of 120 patients were included in the study, of which 54 had positive findings regarding clinically significant musculoskeletal pathology. MRI showed the highest sensitivities (98.1%) and overall accuracy (95.8%), followed by low-dose CT with sensitivity(s) of 81.5% and an accuracy of 90.0%. Tomosynthesis was superior to radiography for detection and offered a clinically useful intermediate alternative for indeterminate radiographs.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
