Which of the following statements is true regarding imaging modalities for hip fractures? A. In young patients with high energy trauma, a CT scan is very accurate for identifying hip fracture after a negative x-ray, where as in elderly patients with low energy trauma an MRI is preferred because occult fractures in the elderly are less likely to involve the cortex of the bone. B. CT scan is the gold standard for diagnosis in all occult hip fractures C. Bone scan is very sensitive acutely (<24hrs) after injury D. Ultrasound has very poor sensitivity for diagnosing hip fractures
