Skull fractures: CT scans versus autopsies

Conclusion In developing countries, images are interpreted in the axial plane only on a CT scan of the head, which may be due to a lack of financial and human resources. For better delineation of fractures, the use of techniques like multi- detector CT with sagittal and coronal reformations should be considered in the routine interpretation of a CT scan of the head.
