Our hypothesis is that the CBCT has a higher diagnostic accuracy for scaphoid fractures than radiography. We retrospectively analysed patients who underwent both radiography and CBCT examinations within 4 days to rule out a scaphoid fracture over a 2-year period in our institution. 4 blinded radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons independently rated the images regarding the presence of a scaphoid fracture. The reference standard was evaluated by two radiologists in a consensus reading. Inter-rater correlation was evaluated, pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were calculated and compared. 102 patients met the inclusion criteria. 52% of them had a scaphoid fracture. The inter-rater correlation was higher in the CBCT compared to radiography (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were higher for CBCT than for radiography (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.019). Observers\u2019 fracture classifications showed a higher correlation with the reference standard in the CBCT. Observers\u2019 certainty for fracture detection and classification were higher in the CBCT. CBCT shows a higher diagnostic accuracy for scaphoid fractures than radiography.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-22331-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,26]],"date-time":"2018-02-26T10:01:18Z","timestamp":1519639278000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Comparison of the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography and radiography for scaphoid fractures"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Jakob","family":"Neubauer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Benndorf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Ehritt-Braun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kilian","family":"Reising","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tayfun","family":"Yilmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Klein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Horst","family":"Zajonc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elmar","family":"Kotter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathias","family":"Langer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sebastian Moritz","family":"Goerke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"22331_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"768","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2008.01.003","volume":"39","author":"PJ Jenkins","year":"2008","unstructured":"Jenkins, P.
