UNASSIGNED: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of full-body @entity11898 ( @entity11898 ) in multiple @entity130 @entity1 in comparison to 128-multislice computed tomography (MSCT). Materials and Methods: 106 multiple @entity130 @entity1 (female: 33; male: 73) were retrospectively included in this study. All @entity1 underwent @entity11898 of the whole body, including extremities, and MSCT covering the neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis. The diagnostic accuracy of @entity11898 for the detection of @entity174 of the truncal skeleton and pneumothoraces was evaluated in comparison to MSCT by two observers in consensus. Extremity @entity174 detected by @entity11898 were documented. Results: The overall sensitivity of @entity11898 was 49.2%, the specificity was 93.3%, the positive predictive value was 91%, and the negative predictive value was 57.5%. The overall sensitivity for @entity174 was 16.7%, and the specificity was 100%. The sensitivity was 48.7% and the specificity 98.2% for all other @entity174 . Pneumothoraces were detected in 12 @entity1 by CT, but not by @entity11898 .40 extremity @entity174 were detected by @entity11898 , of which 4 @entity174 were dislocated, and 2 were fully covered by MSCT. Conclusion: The diagnostic accuracy of @entity11898 is limited in the evaluation of acute @entity130 of the truncal skeleton. @entity11898 allows fast whole-body X-ray imaging, and may be valuable for detecting extremity @entity174 in @entity130 @entity1 in addition to MSCT. Key Points:       The overall sensitivity of @entity11898 for @entity130 in multiple- @entity130 @entity1 was <50%.      The diagnostic reference standard MSCT is the preferred and reliable imaging modality.      @entity11898 may be valuable for quick detection of extremity @entity174 .
