Abstract

Conventional X-ray examination of the spine is the most important method to diagnose vertebral fractures. Radiologists are requested to identify, characterize and quantify vertebral fractures. Based on this diagnosis, an estimation of the incident fracture risk becomes possible and an indication to treat can be discussed consequently. Standardized documentation of diagnostic results is mandatory to assess the efficiency of the treatment
