CT scans for spine fracture measurements in adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether CT scans can reliably measure facet joints in people with certain types of thoracolumbar spine fractures. It may help doctors better assess these injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a specific type of thoracolumbar spine fracture (AOSpine types A2, A3, or A4).
- A CT scan from your upper to lower back (Th9 to L3) is available.
- The CT images are clear and not affected by motion or metal artifacts.
- Your bone density in the lower spine is above a certain threshold.

This study looks at how the spine changes over time after different treatments (surgery or no surgery) for a specific type of fracture in the lower back area. The information will help doctors understand which treatment might lead to better long-term outcomes.
This study uses special CT scans taken during spine surgery to help doctors assess whether the spine is stable after treatment for wear-and-tear spinal problems. Understanding spine stability during surgery may improve surgical outcomes and patient safety.
This trial uses a computer program to analyze CT scans of the spine to help doctors tell the difference between new (acute) and old (chronic) fractures caused by osteoporosis. This could help guide treatment decisions without needing extra tests.
This study checks whether a computer can automatically spot and label the bones in your spine using 3D information from a CT scan. It may help surgeons work faster and more accurately before spine surgery.
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence program can find broken bones in the spine (vertebral fractures) by looking at CT scans of the chest or abdomen. The goal is to see if AI can help doctors spot these fractures more easily, which could lead to earlier treatment.
This study uses a CT scan to estimate how strong a cancer-affected bone area is, helping doctors evaluate fracture risk and bone management. It is aimed at adults with bone lesions from several common cancer types.
