¸ñÀû: This study examined the diagnostic value of ultrasound and radiography compared with clinical examinations as the method to determine whether ultrasound can be used for diagnosis of nasal fracture ¹æ¹ý:This study was conducted on 128 nasal fracture patients. Radiography in patients was performed by 2 different radiologists on Waters and lateral view with a 10-MHz ultrasound probe, and clinical examinations were done by an Otorhinolaryngologist. Radiography and ultrasound findings were compared with the final diagnosis which was based on clinical examinations °á°ú:In the ultrasound assessment of fracture, sensitivity was 84%, specificity 75%, accuracy 82%, positive predictive value 91%, and negative predictive value 61%. In the radiologic assessment of fracture on lateral view, sensitivity was 50%, specificity 72%, accuracy 55%, positive predictive value 84%, and negative predictive value 32%. On Waters view, sensitivity was 53%, specificity 65%, accuracy 56%, positive predictive value 82%, and negative predictive value 31%. On lateral-waters view, sensitivity was 64%, specificity 58%, accuracy 62%, positive predictive value 82%, and negative predictive value 34%. Fracture diagnosis by ultrasound was significantly better as compared with radiography. °á·Ð:The nasal bone ultrasound is a useful in determining the nasal fracture and radiography can be replaced with ultrasound in diagnosis of fracture
