There are two types of CT exams performed on the ribs: one is a normal plain CT and the other is a 3D reconstructive CT. 3D reconstructive CT sees a larger, more comprehensive, and more detailed image of the bone than a plain CT, and the cost will be different as well. A normal plain scan CT is around$300, and if the CT has a higher resolution, it could cost$500-800. A normal 3D reconstructive CT exam costs more than a normal plain scan CT and will cost around$700, and if the resolution is higher, a 3D reconstructive CT exam can potentially cost up to$1,000. It depends on the rib fracture misalignment to determine how many ribs are fractured, and it is more accurate and careful to perform a 3D reconstruction CT.
