About
Bernhard Petritsch is a leading radiologist specializing in advanced musculoskeletal and trauma imaging, with a particular focus on the clinical application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in extremity trauma. His major contributions center on validating the use of twin robotic, gantry-free CBCT systems—such as the Multitom Rax—for small bone and joint injuries, demonstrating how these systems improve diagnostic accuracy and directly influence treatment decisions. In his landmark 2020 study (25 citations), Petritsch showed that CBCT in small bone and joint trauma significantly alters clinical management compared to conventional radiography. His 2022 work (14 citations) further established the superiority of gantry-free CBCT over traditional multidetector CT for acute elbow trauma, particularly in patients with limited mobility, by leveraging greater positioning freedom for high-quality 3D imaging. With a growing citation impact, Petritsch’s research is shaping modern trauma radiology, offering clinicians a practical, patient-friendly alternative to standard CT. His work is essential reading for radiologists and orthopedic surgeons seeking to integrate advanced, flexible imaging into acute care settings.
