Vertebral Compression Fracture

An 87-year-old female patient, with a history of lumbar spinal stenosis for the past 10 years, came to our hospital complaining of sudden back pain with physical limitation. A spinal fracture was suspected and a Dual Energy CT (DECT) examination was requested for further evaluation.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
