Comparison of Gray-scale Inverted Rib Series With Conventional Ones in Rib Fracture Detection by Emergency Physicians and Medical Students

There were many studies which examined the availability of inverted gray-scale chest X-ray for increasing the detection of lung nodules. In emergency medicine, rib fracture is an important part for patient's disposition, so investigators designed this study to evaluate the availability of inverted gray-scale chest X-ray for the detection of rib fracture.
