5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this project is to determine if using tomosynthesis, in conjunction with x-ray, is better at detecting hip fractures than using x-ray alone. The goal of this study will be to include the use of tomosynthesis with x-ray as usual practice when a patient comes to the emergency room with symptoms of a hip fracture.
