Craig Blackmore, MD, MPH Department of Radiology Virginia Mason Medical Center Affiliate Professor, University of Washington Disclosure: Book Royalties, Springer-Verlag Evidence Based Imaging: Optimizing Imaging for Patient Care Evidence Based Imaging in Pediatrics: Optimizing Imaging for Patient Care Outline Who and how? Evidence Based Imaging Anatomy Patterns of injury Biomechanics Special cases Outline Who and how? Evidence Based Imaging Anatomy Patterns of injury Biomechanics Special cases Who Should Undergo Imaging? Limited evidence Validated clinical prediction rule 2404 subjects Sensitivity 100% Specificity 4% Limited effect on utilization Holmes Criteria Thoracolumbar spine pain Thoracolumbar midline spine tenderness Decreased level of consciousness Abnormal peripheral nerve examination Distracting injury Intoxication Holmes, J Emerg Med 2003
2 How to image? Limited evidence Radiography standard CT reconstructions from C/A/P MDCT Low cost No radiation Fast Reimbursement CT Reconstructions Multiple level 3 studies Retrospective, potential biases Few small prospective studies CT sensitivity 78-97% Radiograph sensitivity 32-74% Evidence suggests CT is better Sagittal reformations Outline Who and how?
