“…Twelve famous studies based on ultrasound role has included a small sample size in their study such as Hendrich et al 12 ; Engin et al 13 ; Rainer et al 14 ; Jin et al 15 ; Traub et al 16 ; Wootton-Gorges et al 17 ; Weinberg et al 18 ; You et al 19 ; Szucs-Farkas et al 20 ; Yazkan et al 21 ; Błasińska et al 22 and Chardoli et al 23 had a small sample size where the study was also retrospective based on a convenience sample. Therefore this research is based on a small size with only 100 observations.…”

This study aims at assessing of the ultrasound in various bone fracture. This research aims at establishing safe and effective clinical standards to be adopted in the clinical circumstances. The researcher took two groups of sample where both of them faced bone fractures of long bones but one group underwent ultrasound and the other group of sample underwent the x-ray. Both the set of detections were evaluated in terms of time, specificity and efficiency. Each of the of 100 participants all confirmed patients of long bones fractures on CT went through X-ray and Ultra sonography where the result is shown in the table below where the results states that US showed 95% sensitivity (sensitivity: positively diagnose a patient who has pathology) for high-grade injuries and US was shown to have 66.6% specificity (specificity: not falsely diagnosing a healthy patient)

Aim. To conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of X-ray diagnostics and computed tomography in detecting injuries in patients with blunt chest trauma. Methods. We examined 68 patients with chest injuries (men and women) and an average age of 34.67 years (between 18 and 65 years). The causes of injury were: road accidents 37 (54.4%), falls from a height 21 (30.8%), blunt blow to the chest 10 (14.8%). The results of X-ray and computed tomography examination of patients were compared. Results. X-ray examination revealed a chest bone fracture in 24 (35.3%) patients, while computed tomography revealed a bone fracture in 32 (47.1%) cases (2=1.943; p=0.163). This allows us to state that the results of computed tomography scans are more accurate in the diagnosis of chest fractures. computed tomography scan revealed chest injuries pneumothorax and hemothorax, in 56 (82.4%) cases, while X-ray examination in 37 (54.4%) cases (2=12.277; p 0.001). Thus, the results of the study showed that computed tomography is a more informative method of diagnosis compared to radiography, since computed tomography revealed 11.8% more cases of chest bones fractures, and 28.0% more cases of chest cavity damage with blunt trauma. Conclusion. Our study allows us to recommend computed tomography of the chest in blunt trauma as the initial preferred diagnostic radiology.

Toraks tomografisi giderek artan bir şekilde ilk tercih olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte çoğu merkezde, göğüs radyografisi, hemodinamik açıdan stabil travma hastasının acil görüntüleme değerlendirmesinin ayrılmaz bir parçası ve ilk tercih olmaya devam etmektedir. Diğer yandan özellikle travma skorları yüksek olan olgularda öncelikli görüntüleme yöntemi olarak toraks tomografisinin kullanılması önerilmektedir. Bu çalışmada acil servise başvuran toraks travmalarında toraks tomografisinin gerekli endikasyonlarda kullanılıp kullanılmadığını araştırmayı amaçladık.
