Computed Tomography (CT): Significantly more sensitive than X-ray (39% to 66% detection rate). RadiAnt allows for thin-slice CT viewing, which is essential for identifying subtle cortical discontinuities. To identify a cracked rib using RadiAnt DICOM
While RadiAnt provides general visualization, professional diagnostic software often uses specific Rib Unfolding features (not found in RadiAnt) to "flatten" all 24 ribs into a single 2D plane for rapid fracture detection. RadiAnt DICOM Viewer et al. (2000)
