If only inner table of skull is fractured following a trauma. Does it can be appreciated radiologically? Any other investigation available to find the fracture of inner table of skull? Kindly specify if any method is available.
CT scan would be able to detect fractures of inner table of skull.
Thank you for your response sir,
However many fractures involving the skull entire thickness are missed in CT scan. Can the CT scan be able to detect if there is only inner-table fracture present.
Kindly go through the link attached
CT scans have a low level of accuracy in detecting traumatic injuries, whereas definitive diagnosis is required in forensic pathology.6 Therefore, a CT scan is an inadequate detection tool for forensic experts. A CT scan is an excellent accomplice for clinicians in emergency room settings but inadequate for courtroom testimony. There is high probability of imprecise indictments and convictions if a CT scan is the sole basis of an evidence.
