Tomosynthesis provides boost in painful prosthetic cases
By Frances Rylands-Monk
French researchers have revealed that digital tomosynthesis has a similar diagnostic performance to x-ray for diagnosing prosthetic loosening after total hip arthroplasty, but it yields better interobserver agreement. They compared the performance of tomosynthesis with that of x-ray and also CT with metal artifact reduction.
