Late Breaking Abstract - Digital tomography in the diagnosis of a posterior pneumothorax in the intensive care unit (ICU)

Conclusion: Combining the digital tomosynthesis technique with the portable x-ray machine could increase the diagnostic value for posterior pneumothoraces while avoiding intrahospital transport and limiting radiation exposure in comparison to CT scan.
