As utilization of computed tomography (CT) scans in the evaluation of trauma patients increases, pneumothoraces (PTXs) seen on CT but not on chest X-ray (CXR), known as occult PTXs (OPTXs), are becoming more prevalent. The incidence of PTXs simply missed on CXR among OPTXs is unclear. A previous retrospective review of CXRs at our institution generally confirmed the occult versus missed designation, but lower fidelity images may have biased this determination. Thus, we repeated this evaluation using the high-quality images and improved the methodology.
