Research Round-up: Diagnostic Imaging for Stress Fractures

In this episode, Russ Gothard and I talk about a 2016 study on diagnostic imaging for suspected stress fractures called “Diagnostic Accuracy of Various Imaging Modalities for Suspected Lower Extremity Stress Fractures: A Systematic Review with Evidence-Based Recommendations for Clinical Practice.”

In this podcast you will learn:

• How accurate different diagnostic modalities are for stress fractures
• The sensitivities and specificities for each
• When it is appropriate to use each imaging modality.
